Web console

To manage ACL for buckets using the web console, follow these steps:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Storage > IONOS S3 Object Storage.

2. From the Buckets list, choose the bucket to which you want to access the ACL.

3. Click Bucket settings and choose the Access Control List (ACL) under the Access management section.

4. Select the checkboxes against the access permissions to grant at each user level such as bucket owner, public access, authenticated users, and logging. For more information, see ACL permission for buckets.

5. Add grantees to provide additional users with access permission to the bucket. For more information, see Add grantees for buckets.

6. Click Save to apply the ACL settings to the bucket.

Result: The bucket ACL permissions are successfully applied on the bucket.

Add grantees for buckets

Prerequisites:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Storage > IONOS S3 Object Storage.

2. From the Buckets list, choose the bucket to which you want to add the grantee.

3. Click Bucket settings and choose the Access Control List (ACL) under the Access management section.

4. In the Additional Grantees section, enter the retrieved Canonical user ID of the grantee, select the checkboxes on the ACL permissions to grant, and click Add. For ACL permissions, see ACL permission for buckets.

5. Add any number of grantees to the bucket by following step 4.

6. Click Save to add the additional grantees with corresponding ACL permissions to the bucket.

Result: The grantees are successfully added to the bucket.

Note: Granting access to a bucket for another IONOS user does not make the bucket appear in the user's S3 web console due to the S3 protocol's architecture. To access the bucket, the user must utilize other S3 Tools as the granted access does not translate to interface visibility.
