Granting Anonymous Users Permission to Access Folders¶
If all objects in a folder need to be accessible to anonymous users, you can configure a bucket policy or an object policy to grant anonymous users the permission to access the folder. In this example, a bucket policy is used. If you want to use an object policy to grant permission, select the target folder and configure an object policy. Parameters in both types of policies are the same.
Procedure¶
In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate to go to the Objects page.
In the navigation pane, choose Permissions > Bucket Policies.
Click Create.
Configure the following parameters in the Create Bucket Policy dialog box.
