Buckets: update

Updates the metadata of a bucket. Changes to the bucket are readable immediately after writing, but configuration changes may take time to propagate.

Caution: You should generally use the PATCH method, which changes only metadata you define in the request. The UPDATE method might change certain metadata for the bucket even if that metadata is not specified in the request.

Required permissions

To use this method,the authenticated user must have the storage.buckets.update IAM permission. Additionally, to perform specific actions on a bucket, the authenticated user must have the following permissions:

• To update public access prevention policies or access control lists (ACLs): storage.buckets.setIamPolicy
• To return ACLs on a bucket: storage.buckets.getIamPolicy
• To update bucket IP filtering rules: storage.buckets.setIpFilter
• To return bucket IP filtering rules as part of the response: storage.buckets.getIpFilter
