<h1 class="topictitle1">Granting Anonymous Users Permission to Access Folders</h1>
<div id="body1557026128762"><p id="obs_03_0096__p517314258104">If all objects in a folder need to be accessible to anonymous users, you can configure a bucket policy or an object policy to grant anonymous users the permission to access the folder. In this example, a bucket policy is used. If you want to use an object policy to grant permission, select the target folder and configure an object policy. Parameters in both types of policies are the same.</p>
