Functions

This operation adds or updates the tag information for an object. An object tag is a key-value pair.

If you do not specify a version ID in a request, make sure that you have the PutObjectTagging permission. If you do specify a version ID in a request, make sure that you have the PutObjectTagging and PutObjectVersionTagging permissions. By default, only the object owner can perform this operation. The object owner can grant this permission to others by using a bucket or user policy.

Tags are added to the current version of an object by default. You can use the versionId parameter to add tags to any other version. If the version you are adding tags to is a delete marker, OBS returns 404 Not Found.

Tags cannot be set for files in parallel file systems.
An object can have up to 10 tags.
Constraints on the tag key and value:
A tag key is case sensitive and must be unique. It cannot be left blank or exceed 128 characters. The following characters are not allowed: =*<>\,|/?!;

A tag value is case sensitive and can be left blank. It cannot exceed 255 characters. The following characters are not allowed: =*<>\,|?!;
