PutObjectAcl

Uses the acl subresource to set the access control list (ACL) permissions for a new or existing object in an S3 bucket. You must have WRITE_ACP permission to set the ACL of an object.

Depending on your application needs, you can choose to set the ACL on an object using either the request body or the headers. For example, if you have an existing application that updates a bucket ACL using the request body, you can continue to use that approach.

Important

If your bucket uses the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership, ACLs are disabled and no longer affect permissions. You must use policies to grant access to your bucket and the objects in it. Requests to set ACLs or update ACLs fail and return the AccessControlListNotSupported error code. Requests to read ACLs are still supported.

Permissions

You can set access permissions using one of the following methods:

  • Specify a canned ACL with the x-amz-acl request header. Petabox supports a set of predefined ACLs, known as canned ACLs. Each canned ACL has a predefined set of grantees and permissions. Specify the canned ACL name as the value of x-amz-acl. If you use this header, you cannot use other access control-specific headers in your request.

  • Specify access permissions explicitly with the x-amz-grant-read, x-amz-grant-read-acp, x-amz-grant-write-acp, and x-amz-grant-full-control headers. When using these headers, you specify explicit access permissions and grantees (Petabox accounts or Petabox groups) who will receive the permission. If you use these ACL-specific headers, you cannot use x-amz-acl header to set a canned ACL. These parameters map to the set of permissions that Petabox supports in an ACL.

You specify each grantee as a type=value pair, where the type is one of the following:

  • id – if the value specified is the canonical user ID of a Petabox account

  • uri – if you are granting permissions to a predefined group

  • emailAddress – if the value specified is the email address of a Petabox account

For example, the following x-amz-grant-read header grants list objects permission to the two Petabox accounts identified by their email addresses.

x-amz-grant-read: emailAddress="xyz@petabox.io", emailAddress="abc@petabox.io"

You can use either a canned ACL or specify access permissions explicitly. You cannot do both.

Grantee Values

You can specify the person (grantee) to whom you're assigning access rights (using request elements) in the following ways:

  • By the person's ID:

    <Grantee xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="CanonicalUser"><ID><>ID<></ID><DisplayName><>GranteesEmail<></DisplayName> </Grantee>

    DisplayName is optional and ignored in the request.

  • By URI:

    <Grantee xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Group"><URI><>http://acs.petabox.io/groups/global/AuthenticatedUsers<></URI></Grantee>

  • By Email address:

    <Grantee xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="PetaboxCustomerByEmail"><EmailAddress><>Grantees@email.com<></EmailAddress>lt;/Grantee>

    The grantee is resolved to the CanonicalUser and, in a response to a GET Object acl request, appears as the CanonicalUser.

Versioning

The ACL of an object is set at the object version level. By default, PUT sets the ACL of the current version of an object. To set the ACL of a different version, use the versionId subresource.

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

Bucket

The bucket name that contains the object to which you want to attach the ACL.

Required: Yes

Content-MD5

For requests made using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) or AWS SDKs, this field is calculated automatically.

Key

Key for which the PUT action was initiated.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.

Required: Yes

versionId

VersionId used to reference a specific version of the object.

x-amz-acl

The canned ACL to apply to the object.

Valid Values: private | public-read | public-read-write | authenticated-read | aws-exec-read | bucket-owner-read | bucket-owner-full-control

x-amz-expected-bucket-owner

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the bucket is owned by a different account, the request fails with the HTTP status code 403 Forbidden (access denied).

x-amz-grant-full-control

Allows grantee the read, write, read ACP, and write ACP permissions on the bucket.

x-amz-grant-read

Allows grantee to list the objects in the bucket.

x-amz-grant-read-acp

Allows grantee to read the bucket ACL.

x-amz-grant-write

Allows grantee to create new objects in the bucket.

For the bucket and object owners of existing objects, also allows deletions and overwrites of those objects.

x-amz-grant-write-acp

Allows grantee to write the ACL for the applicable bucket.

x-amz-request-payer

Confirms that the requester knows that they will be charged for the request. Bucket owners need not specify this parameter in their requests.

Valid Values: requester

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in XML format.

AccessControlPolicy

Root level tag for the AccessControlPolicy parameters.

Required: Yes

Grants

A list of grants.

Required: No

Owner

Container for the bucket owner's display name and ID.

Type: Owner data type

Required: No

Response Syntax

Examples

Sample Request

The following request grants access permission to an existing object. The request specifies the ACL in the body. In addition to granting full control to the object owner, the XML specifies full control to a Petabox account identified by its canonical user ID.
