Bucket Policy Parameters

A bucket policy in JSON format:

{
"Statement" : [{
     statement1
  },
  {
     statement2
  },
  ......
 ]
}

Example:

{
"Statement" : [{
     "Sid": "ExampleStatementID1",
     "Principal": "*",
     "Effect": "Allow",
     "Action": ["ListBucket"],
     "Resource": "examplebucket",
     "Condition": "some conditions"
  },
  {
     "Sid": "ExampleStatementID2",
     "Principal": "*",
     "Effect": "Allow",
     "Action": ["PutObject"],
     "Resource": "examplebucket",
     "Condition": "some conditions"
  },
......
]
}

A policy consists of one or more statements. Each statement contains the following elements:

Table 1 Elements of a bucket policy statement

Element	Description	Mandatory/Optional
Sid	ID of the statement. The value is a string that describes the statement.	Optional
Principal	Domains and users that a statement applies to. The value can be a wildcard (*), indicating all users. To grant permissions to all users in a domain, set Principal to domain/domainid:user/*. To grant permissions to a specific user in a domain, set Principal to domain/domainid:user/userId or domain/domainid:user/userName.	Optional. Select either Principal or NotPrincipal.
NotPrincipal	Users that the statement does not apply to. Its value has the same format as Principal.	Optional. Select either NotPrincipal or Principal.
Action	Actions that the statement applies to. This parameter specifies a set of all the operations supported by OBS. Its values are case insensitive. The value can be a wildcard character (*) that indicates all operations. For example: "Action":["List*","Get*"].	Optional. Select either Action or NotAction.
NotAction	Actions that are not controlled by this statement. Its value has the same format as Action.	Optional. Select either Action or NotAction.
Effect	Whether the permission in a statement is Allow or Deny.	Mandatory
Resource	Resources that the statement will apply to. You can use a wildcard (*) to indicate all resources.	Optional. Select either Resource or NotResource.
NotResource	Resources that the statement will not apply to. Its value has the same format as Resource.	Optional. Select either Resource or NotResource.
Condition	Conditions for the statement to take effect.	Optional

Note

A statement must contain Action or NotAction, Resource or NotResource, and Principal or NotPrincipal.

Principal/NotPrincipal

Principal or NotPrincipal can be anonymous users, specific tenants, specific users, federated users, or agencies.

• All (anonymous users)

  "Principal": {"ID": "*"}
  

  In the example, the wildcard (*) indicates Everyone/Anonymous. Do not use the wildcard for Principal of the role's trust policy unless you have restricted access by using the Condition element in the policy.

• Specific tenants

  If a tenant identifier is used as the Principal of a policy, permissions are granted to all users of this tenant. This includes all subscribers under the account. The following example demonstrates how to specify an account as an authorized person.

  "Principal": { "ID": " domain/domainIdxxxx:user/*" }
  

  You can also grant permissions to multiple tenants at a time:

  "Principal": {
    "ID": [
      "domain/domainIDxx1:user/useridxxxx",
      "domain/domainIDxx2:user/*"
    ]
  }
  

• Specific users

  User names in the Principal element are case-sensitive.

  "Principal": {"ID": "domain/domainIDxxx:user/user-name" }
  "Principal": {
    "ID": [
      "domain/domainIDxxx:user/UserID1",
      "domain/domainIDxxx:user/UserID2"
    ]
  }
  

• Federated users (using SAML identity provider)

  "Principal": { "Federated": "domain/domainIDxxx:identity-provider/provider-name" }
  "Principal": { "Federated": "domain/domainIDxxx:group/groupname" }
  

• Agencies

  * indicates all agencies of a tenant.

  "Principal": { "ID": "domain/domainIDxxx:agency/agencyname" }
  "Principal": { "ID": "domain/domainIDxxx:agency/*" }
  

The principals on OBS Console refer to the users that the bucket policies apply to. These users can be accounts, federated users or federated user groups, or IAM users. You can specify the principals to include or exclude.

• Include: The policy applies to specified users.

• Exclude: The policy applies to users except the specified ones.

Specifying IAM users under the current account

You can set Principal to Current account and select one or more IAM users under this account, so that the bucket policy applies to the selected IAM users.

Specifying another account

You can set Principal to Other account, enter an account ID, and then enter one or more user IDs to apply the bucket policy to only the IAM users under that account. You need to use commas (,) to separate user IDs.

Note

To obtain the account ID and user ID, log in to the console as an IAM user and go to the My Credentials page to obtain them.

Specifying anonymous users

To grant access to anyone, set Principal to Other account and enter a wildcard (*) as the account ID.

Important

Exercise caution when granting permissions to anonymous users. If you grant the permissions to anonymous users, anyone can access your bucket. You are advised to restrict access requests. For example, you can allow access only from a specific IP address.

Action/NotAction

If a policy applies to a bucket, configure bucket-related actions. If the policy applies to the objects in a bucket, configure object-related actions.

Actions can be specified in either of the following ways:

• Include: The bucket policy applies to specified actions.

• Exclude: The bucket policy applies to actions except the specified ones.

Resource/NotResource

The resources supported by OBS are as follows:

• bucketname: The Action drop-down list box lists all actions allowed on a bucket. To allow an action on a bucket, set Resource to the bucket name.

• bucketname/objectname: The Action drop-down list box lists all actions allowed on an object. To allow an action on an object in a bucket, set Resource to bucketname/objectname. You can use a wildcard for objectname to allow an action on all objects in the bucket. For example, if you want to allow an action on all objects in a directory of a bucket, set Resource to "bucketname/directory/*". If you have permissions on all the objects in a bucket, set Resource to "bucketname/*". If you want to allow an action on both a bucket and its objects, set Resource to ["examplebucket/*","examplebucket"].

The following example policy grants the permissions to allow user1 with the ID of 71f3901173514e6988115ea2c26d1999 under account b4bf1b36d9ca43d984fbcb9491b6fce9 (account ID) to take all actions on the examplebucket bucket and all objects in it.

{
    "Statement":[
    {
      "Sid":"test",
      "Effect":"Allow",
      "Principal": {"ID": ["domain/b4bf1b36d9ca43d984fbcb9491b6fce9:user/71f3901173514e6988115ea2c26d1999"]},
      "Action":["*"],
      "Resource":["examplebucket/*","examplebucket"]
    }
  ]
}

On OBS Console, you can apply a bucket policy to the following resources: the current bucket, and all objects in a bucket.

You can specify the resources to include or exclude:

• Include: The bucket policy applies to specified OBS resources.

• Exclude: The bucket policy applies to OBS resources except the specified ones.

Applying a bucket policy to a bucket

To apply a bucket policy to the current bucket, keep the resource text box empty. When configuring actions for the policy, select bucket related actions.

Applying a bucket policy to specified objects

To apply a bucket policy to specified objects in a bucket, object-related actions must be configured in the policy.

• For an object, enter the object name (including its folder name if any). For example, if the resource is the example.jpg file in the imgs-folder folder in the bucket, enter the following in the resource text box:

  imgs-folder/example.jpg

• For an object set, use the wildcard asterisk (*). The asterisk (*) indicates an empty string or any combination of characters.

  • Use only one asterisk (*) to indicate all objects in a bucket.

  • Use Object name prefix* to indicate objects with this prefix in a bucket. Example:

    imgs*

  • Use *Object name suffix to indicate objects with this suffix in a bucket. Example:

    *.jpg

Note

Use commas (,) to separate one object (or object set) from another.

Condition

In addition to the effect, principals, resources, and actions, you can also specify the conditions for a bucket policy to take effect. The bucket policy is applied only when its condition expressions match the values contained in the request. Conditions are optional. You can choose whether to configure them.

For example, if account A needs to have full control over an object uploaded by account B to bucket example of account A, the x-obs-acl key must be specified in the upload request and the policy effect must be set to Allow for account A. The complete condition expression is as follows:

Condition Operator	Key	Value
StringEquals	x-obs-acl	bucket-owner-full-control

A condition consists of condition operator, key, and value. If there are multiple identical keys in the same condition operator, only the last key is retained. Condition operators and keys are correlated. If you select a string type, for example, StringEquals, for a condition operator, the key can only be a string type, for example, UserAgent. Likewise, if you select a key of the date type, for example, CurrentTime, the condition operator can only be a date type, for example, DateEquals.

• Condition operators

  A condition operator, a condition key, and a condition value together constitute a complete condition statement. A policy can be applied only when its request conditions are met. Table 4 lists the condition operators available for statements. String condition operators are not case-sensitive unless otherwise specified.

Table 4 Condition operators

Note

Elements in a condition are case sensitive. The date format complies with the ISO 8601 standard, for example, 2015-07-01T12:00:00Z.

Each condition can contain multiple key-value pairs. The Condition combination in the following figure indicates that the request time ranges from 2015-07-01T12:00:00Z to 2018-04-16T15:00:00Z and the request IP address range is 192.168.176.0/24 or 192.168.143.0/24.

"Condition" : {
  "DateGreaterThan" : {
  "CurrentTime" : "2015-07-01T12:00:00Z"
  },
  "DateLessThan": {
  "CurrentTime" : "2018-04-16T15:00:00Z"
  },
  "IpAddress" : {
  "SourceIp" : ["192.168.176.0/24","192.168.143.0/24"]
  }
}

• Condition keys

Keys in a condition can be classified into general keys, keys related to actions on buckets, and keys related to actions on objects.

The following table lists the keys that are not related to actions.

Table 5 General keys

Key	Type	Description
CurrentTime	Date	Date when the request is received by the server. The date format must comply with ISO 8601.
EpochTime	Numeric	Time when the request is received by the server, which is expressed as seconds since 1970.01.01 00:00:00 UTC, regardless of the leap seconds
SecureTransport	Bool	Whether the request is encrypted using SSL Note The value can be either true or false. Any other values you enter will become false by default.
SourceIp	IP address	Source (client) IP address of the request
UserAgent	String	Requested client software agent
Referer	String	Link from which the request is sent

Keys in a condition must be used in certain actions. The following table lists the mapping between actions and the keys in a condition.

Table 6 Keys related to bucket actions

Action	Optional Key	Description	Remarks
ListBucket	prefix	Type: String. Lists objects with the specified prefix.	If prefix, delimiter, and max-keys are configured for a bucket policy, the List requests must contain the matched key-value pair. For example, if a bucket policy (with the condition operator set to NumericEquals, the key to max-keys, and the value to 100) is configured to allow anonymous users to read data from a bucket, the List requests from the anonymous users must have ?max-keys=100 at the end of the bucket domain name. The listed objects are the first 100 objects in alphabetic order.
	delimiter	Type: String. Groups objects in a bucket.
	max-keys	Type: Numeric. Sets the maximum number of objects. Returned objects are listed in alphabetic order.
ListBucketVersions	prefix	Type: String. Lists multi-version objects with the specified prefix.
	delimiter	Type: String. Groups objects of different versions in a bucket.
	max-keys	Type: Numeric. Sets the maximum number of objects. Returned objects are listed in alphabetic order.
PutBucketAcl	x-obs-acl	Type: String. Configures the bucket ACL. When modifying a bucket ACL, you can use the request that contains a canned ACL setting in its header. Value options of a canned ACL setting: private|public-read|public-read-write|bucketowner-read|log-delivery-write.	None

Table 7 Keys related to object actions

Action	Optional Key	Description
PutObject	x-obs-acl	Type: String. Configures the object ACL. When uploading an object, you can use the request that contains a canned ACL setting in its header. Value options of a canned ACL setting: private|public-read|public-read-write|bucketowner-read|bucket-owner-full-control|log-delivery-write.
	x-obs-copy-source	Type: String. Specifies names of the source bucket and the source object. Format: /bucketname/keyname
	x-obs-metadata-directive	Type: String. Specifies whether to copy the metadata of the source object or replace with the metadata in the request. The value can be COPY or REPLACE.
	x-obs-server-side-encryption	Type: String. Specifies that objects in a bucket are encrypted using SSE-KMS before they are stored. The value is kms.
PutObjectAcl	x-obs-acl	Type: String. Configures the object ACL. When uploading an object, you can use the request that contains a canned ACL setting in its header. Value options of a canned ACL setting: private|public-read|public-read-write|bucketowner-read|bucket-owner-full-control|log-delivery-write.
GetObjectVersion	versionId	Type: String. Obtains the object with the specified version ID.
GetObjectVersionAcl	versionId	Type: String. Obtains the ACL of the object with the specified version ID.
PutObjectVersionAcl	versionId	Type: String. Specifies a version ID.
	x-obs-acl	Type: String. Configures the ACL of the object with the specified version ID. When uploading an object, you can use the request that contains a canned ACL setting in its header.

DeleteObjectVersion	versionId	Type: String. Deletes the object with the specified version ID.

Policy Permission Judgment Logic

Each statement in a policy can have the action Explicit Deny, Allow, or Default Deny. If a bucket policy contains multiple statements with different actions, the final action is determined according to the following rules:

• If there are no Explicit Deny or Allow, Default Deny will apply.

• An explicit deny overrides an allow.

• An allow overrides a default deny.

• Statements can be in any order in a policy.

Table 8 Statement results

Result	Description
explicit deny	A statement defines effect="deny". All requests for resources to which the statement applies are denied. No permission is returned.
allow	A statement defines effect="allow". All requests for resources to which the statement applies are allowed.
default deny	Conditions defined in a statement are not met. Requests are denied.

If both an ACL and a bucket policy apply, an explicit deny in the bucket policy overrides the allow in the ACL.

If both a bucket policy and an IAM policy apply, an explicit deny overrides an allow, and an allow overrides the default deny.

Bucket ACL/Policy for cross-tenant authorization does not apply to SSE-KMS server-side encrypted objects.
