Set ACLs

The privileges a user has when accessing a bucket are set using an Access Control List (ACL). You can assign ACLs for a user, for a set of pre-defined groups, such as all users, and for a custom group.

When you create a bucket and assign an owner to it, an ACL is created that assigns a default set of permissions to the bucket owner - the owner is, by default, assigned full control.

You can modify the permissions assigned to the owner or you can add new permissions for a user by selecting the Edit ACL operation for the bucket.

In the ECS Portal, the Bucket ACLs Management page has User ACLs, Group ACLs, and Custom Group ACLs tabs to manage the ACLs associated with individual users and pre-defined groups, and to allow groups to be defined that can be used when accessing the bucket as a file system.

For information about ACLs with CAS buckets, see the ECS Data Access Guide, available from the ECS Product Documentation page.
