Using uniform bucket-level access

Go to concepts

Important: Uniform bucket-level access was known as Bucket Policy Only during Beta. The organization policy and API fields referring to Bucket Policy Only are still supported, but we recommend using the equivalent uniform bucket-level access organization policy and API fields.

This page shows you how to enable, disable and check the status of uniform bucket-level access on a bucket in Cloud Storage.

Prerequisites

Before using this feature in Cloud Storage, you should:

1. Have sufficient permission to view and update buckets in Cloud Storage:

   • If you own the project that contains the bucket, you most likely have the necessary permissions.

   • You should have the storage.buckets.update and storage.buckets.get IAM permissions on the relevant bucket. See Using IAM Permissions for instructions on how to get a role, such as Storage Admin, that has these permissions.

Check for ACL usage

Before you enable uniform bucket-level access, use Cloud Monitoring to ensure your bucket is not using ACLs for any workflows. For more information, see Check object ACL usage.

Console

To view the metrics for a monitored resource using Metrics Explorer, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud Console, go to Monitoring or use the following button:
   Go to Monitoring
2. In the Monitoring navigation pane, click Metrics Explorer.
3. Ensure Metric is the selected tab.
4. Click in the box labeled Find resource type and metric, and then select from the menu or enter the name for the resource and metric. Use the following information to complete the fields for this text box:
   1. For the Resource, select or enter gcs_bucket.
   2. For the Metric, select or enter ACLs usage.
   The fully qualified name for this monitored resource is storage.googleapis.com/authz/acl_operations_count.
5. Use the Filter, Group By, and Aggregator menus to modify how the data is displayed. For example, to group the data by bucket and ACL operation, select acl_operation for Group By and sum for Aggregator. For more information, see Selecting metrics.

See storage for a complete list of metrics available for Cloud Storage. For information about time series, see Metrics, time series, and resources.

JSON API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the Monitoring JSON API:

   curl \
   'https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/PROJECT_ID/timeSeries?filter=metric.type%20%3D%20%22storage.googleapis.com%2Fauthz%2Facl_operations_count%22&interval.endTime=END_TIME&interval.startTime=START_TIME' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN' \
   --header 'Accept: application/json'
   

   Where:

   • PROJECT_ID is the project ID or number for which you want to view ACL usage. For example, my-project.
   • END_TIME is the end of the time range for which you want to view ACL usage. For example, 2019-11-02T15:01:23.045123456Z.
   • START_TIME is the start of the time range for which you want to view ACL usage. For example, 2016-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.

If the request returns an empty object {}, there is no recent ACL usage for your project.

Enable uniform bucket-level access

Important: Once uniform bucket-level access has been enabled on a bucket for 90 consecutive days, it can no longer be disabled.

To enable uniform bucket-level access on your bucket:

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. In the list of buckets, click on the name of the desired bucket.

3. Select the Permissions tab near the top of the page.

4. In the text box that starts with This bucket uses fine-grained access control..., click Edit.

5. In the pop-up menu that appears, select Uniform.

6. Click Save.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Use the on option in a uniformbucketlevelaccess set command:

gsutil uniformbucketlevelaccess set on gs://BUCKET_NAME

where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

If successful, the response looks like:

Enabling uniform bucket-level access for gs://test-bucket/...

REST APIs

JSON API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Create a .json file that contains the following information:

   {
     "iamConfiguration": {
         "uniformBucketLevelAccess": {
           "enabled": true
         }
     }
   }

3. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a PATCH Bucket request:

   curl -X PATCH --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME.json \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME?fields=iamConfiguration"

   Where:

   • JSON_FILE_NAME is the name of the file you created in Step 2.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

XML API

The XML API cannot be used to work with uniform bucket-level access. Use one of the other Cloud Storage tools, such as gsutil, instead.

View uniform bucket-level access status

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. In the Column display options menu (), make sure Access control is checked.

3. In the list of buckets, the uniform bucket-level access status of each bucket is found in the Access control column.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Use the uniformbucketlevelaccess get command:

gsutil uniformbucketlevelaccess get gs://BUCKET_NAME

where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

If uniform bucket-level access is enabled, the response looks like:

    Enabled: True
    LockedTime: LOCK_DATE

   Where:

   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

   If the bucket has uniform bucket-level access enabled, the response looks like the following example:

Disable uniform bucket-level access

Important: Once uniform bucket-level access has been enabled on a bucket for 90 consecutive days, it can no longer be disabled.

You must remove all IAM conditions from the bucket's IAM policy before you can disable uniform bucket-level access.

To disable uniform bucket-level access on your bucket:

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. In the list of buckets, click on the name of the desired bucket.

3. Select the Permissions tab near the top of the page.

4. In the text box that starts with This bucket uses uniform bucket-level access control..., click Edit. Note that the text box disappears 90 days after you enable uniform bucket-level access.

5. In the pop-up menu that appears, select Fine-grained.

6. Click Save.

See Troubleshooting for how to get detailed error information about failed operations in the Cloud Storage browser.

gsutil

Use the off option in a uniformbucketlevelaccess set command:

gsutil uniformbucketlevelaccess set off gs://BUCKET_NAME

where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

If successful, the response looks like:

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Create a .json file that contains the following information:

   {
     "iamConfiguration": {
         "uniformBucketLevelAccess": {
           "enabled": false
         }
     }
   }

3. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a PATCH Bucket request:

   curl -X PATCH --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME.json \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME?fields=iamConfiguration"

   Where:

   • JSON_FILE_NAME is the name of the file you created in Step 2.
   • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

XML API

The XML API cannot be used to work with uniform bucket-level access. Use one of the other Cloud Storage tools, such as gsutil, instead.
