    Object Storage Service:close-meta-query

    Last Updated:Mar 19, 2026

    Disables the metadata management feature for a bucket.

    Usage notes

    • By default, Alibaba Cloud accounts have permission to disable the metadata management feature. To disable the feature using a RAM user or Security Token Service (STS), the RAM user or STS identity must have the oss:CloseMetaQuery permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

    • Disabling the metadata management feature deletes the metadata index library for the bucket. After deletion, metadata indexing is no longer available for the bucket.
