BucketAccessControls

The BucketAccessControls resource represents the Access Control Lists (ACLs) for buckets within Cloud Storage. ACLs let you specify who has access to your data and to what extent.

There are three roles that can be assigned to an entity:
  • READERs can get the bucket, though no acl property will be returned, and list the bucket's objects.
  • WRITERs are READERs, and they can insert objects into the bucket and delete the bucket's objects.
  • OWNERs are WRITERs, and they can get the acl property of a bucket, update a bucket, and call all BucketAccessControls methods on the bucket.
For more information, see Access Control, with the caveat that this API uses READER, WRITER, and OWNER instead of READ, WRITE, and FULL_CONTROL.

To try out the methods for this resource, see Methods.
