ACL for Buckets

This document provides instructions to Manage ACL for Buckets using the AWS CLI command-line tool. Additionally, these tasks can also be performed using the web console and IONOS S3 Object Storage API.

Use the following keys to define access permissions:

  • --grant-read: Grants read-only access.

  • --grant-write: Grants write-only access.

  • --grant-read-acp: Grants permission to read the Access Control List.

  • --grant-write-acp: Grants permission to modify the Access Control List.

  • --grant-full-control: Grants full access, encompassing the permissions listed above (read, write, read ACL, and write ACL).

Grant access permission to another user

To grant full control of my-bucket to a user with a specific Canonical user ID:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --grant-full-control id=CANONICAL_USER_ID --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

To separate grants with a comma if you want to specify multiple IDs:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --grant-full-control id=CANONICAL_USER_ID_1,id=CANONICAL_USER_ID_2 --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

To grant full control of my-bucket to multiple users using Canonical user ID:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --grant-full-control id=CANONICAL_USER_ID_1,id=CANONICAL_USER_ID_2 --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

To grant full control of my-bucket by using an email address instead of Canonical User ID:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --grant-full-control emailaddress=some@email.com --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Retrieve the ACL of a bucket and save it to the file acl.json:

aws s3api get-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com > acl.json

To edit the file, for example, remove or add some grants and apply updated ACL to the bucket:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --access-control-policy file://acl.json --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Use the following values for the --acl key:

  • private removes public access.

  • public-read allows public read-only access.

  • public-read-write allows public read/write access.

  • authenticated-read allows read-only access to all authenticated users of IONOS S3 Object storage (including ones out of your contract).

Public access

To allow public read-only access to the bucket:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --acl public-read --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

To remove public access to the bucket:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --acl private --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Grant access permission to Log Delivery Group

To set WRITE and READ_ACP permissions for the Log Delivery Group which is required before enabling the Logging feature for a bucket:

aws s3api put-bucket-acl --bucket MY-BUCKET --acl log-delivery-write --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
