Object Storage incorporates multiple mechanisms for managing access to resources. To learn how these mechanisms interact, see Access management methods in Object Storage: Overview.
By default, buckets are created with restricted access, as specified in the IAM settings. You can allow public access:
- To read objects in a bucket.
- To access the list of objects in a bucket.
- To read settings:
Public access to each operation is provided separately. This means, if you have opened read-only access to your objects, anonymous users cannot get the list of objects and bucket settings.
Warning
Public access is granted to an unlimited number of anonymous users. Use it only when other access grant mechanisms are not available.
If required, you can configure permissions to the buckets and objects they contain using ACLs or the access policy.
