Manage object ACLs - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

This topic describes how to manage the access control lists (ACLs) of objects.

Background information

The following table describes the ACLs that you can configure for an object.

ACL	Description	Value
Inherited from bucket	The ACL of the object is the same as the ACL of the bucket in which the object is stored.	oss2.OBJECT_ACL_DEFAULT
Private	Only the object owner and authorized users are granted the read and write permissions on the object.	oss2.OBJECT_ACL_PRIVATE
Public-read	Only the object owner and authorized users are granted the read and write permissions on the object. Other users are granted only the read permissions on the object. Exercise caution when you set the ACL to this value.	oss2.OBJECT_ACL_PUBLIC_READ
Public-read-write	All users are granted the read and write permissions on the object. Exercise caution when you set the ACL to this value.	oss2.OBJECT_ACL_PUBLIC_READ_WRITE

The ACL of an object takes precedence over the ACL of the bucket that contains the object. For example, if the ACL of a bucket is private and the ACL of an object in the bucket is public-read-write, all users are granted the read and write permissions on the object. If the ACL of an object is not configured, the ACL of the object is the same as the ACL of the bucket in which the object is stored.

Usage notes

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions and endpoints.
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Initialization.
To configure the ACL for an object, you must have the oss:PutObjectAcl permission. To query object ACLs, you must have the oss:GetObjectAcl permission. For more information, see Common examples of RAM policies.

Configure the ACL of an object

The following sample code provides an example on how to configure the ACL of an object:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import oss2
from oss2.credentials import EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider
# Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
auth = oss2.ProviderAuth(EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider())
# Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
# Specify the name of the bucket. 
bucket = oss2.Bucket(auth, 'https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com', 'yourBucketName')

# Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. 
bucket.put_object_acl('yourObjectName', oss2.OBJECT_ACL_PUBLIC_READ)

Query the ACL of an object

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the ACL of an object:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import oss2
from oss2.credentials import EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider
# Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
auth = oss2.ProviderAuth(EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider())
# Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
# Specify the name of the bucket. 
bucket = oss2.Bucket(auth, 'https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com', 'yourBucketName')

# Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. 
print(bucket.get_object_acl('yourObjectName').acl)
