Configuring an Object ACL

Prerequisites

You are the object owner or you have the permission to write the object ACL.

An object owner is the account that uploads the object, but may not be the owner of the bucket that stores the object. For example, account B is granted the permission to access a bucket of account A, and account B uploads a file to the bucket. In that case, account B, instead of the bucket owner account A, is the owner of the object. By default, account A is not allowed to access this object and cannot read or modify the object ACL.

Procedure

1. In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate. The Overview page is displayed.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Objects.
3. Click the object to be operated.
4. On the Object ACL tab page, click Edit to grant the owner, registered user, and anonymous user ACL permissions for the object.
   

   ACL permissions for encrypted objects cannot be granted to registered users or anonymous users.

5. Click Add to apply specific ACL permissions to an account, as shown in Figure 1.

   Enter an account ID or account name and specify ACL permissions for the account. You can obtain the account ID or account name from the My Credentials page. The account ID and account name correspond to the Domain ID and Domain Name respectively on the My Credentials page.
