Bucket ACL

API	Operation	Description
PUT Bucket acl	Setting a bucket ACL	Sets an ACL for a bucket
GET Bucket acl	Querying a bucket ACL	Queries the ACL of a bucket

Object ACL

API	Operation	Description
PUT Object acl	Setting an object ACL	Sets an ACL for an object in a bucket
GET Object acl	Querying an object ACL	Queries the ACL of an object

Bucket ACL

Setting a bucket ACL

API description

This API (PUT Bucket acl) is used to set an ACL for a bucket. This operation will overwrite existing permission configurations. ACL includes predefined permission policies (CannedAccessControlList) or custom permission policies (AccessControlList). If both types of policies are set, predefined policies are ignored and custom policies will be used.

Method prototype

CosResult PutBucketACL(const PutBucketACLReq& request, PutBucketACLResp* response);

Sample request

qcloud_cos::CosConfig config("./config.json");
qcloud_cos::CosAPI cos(config);
std::string bucket_name = "examplebucket-1250000000";
// bucket_name needs to be passed to the constructor of PutBucketACLReq.
qcloud_cos::PutBucketACLReq req(bucket_name);
qcloud_cos::PutBucketACLResp resp;
// Set the ACL through either the body or the header. Using both will cause a conflict.
// 1. Set the ACL through the header.
req.SetXCosAcl("public-read-write");
// 2. Set the ACL through the body.
qcloud_cos::Owner owner = {"qcs::cam::uin/00000000001:uin/00000000001", "qcs::cam::uin/00000000001:uin/00000000001" };
qcloud_cos::Grant grant;
req.SetOwner(owner);
grant.m_grantee.m_type = "Group";
grant.m_grantee.m_uri = "http://cam.qcloud.com/groups/global/AllUsers";
grant.m_perm = "READ";
req.AddAccessControlList(grant);
qcloud_cos::PutBucketACLResp resp;
qcloud_cos::CosResult result = cos.PutBucketACL(req, &resp);
if (result.IsSucc()) {
  // Request successful
} else {
  // Request failed. You can call the CosResult member functions to output the error information, such as requestID.
} 

Parameter description

Parameter	Description	Type	Required
req	Request of the PutBucketACL operation	PutBucketACLReq	Yes
resp	Response of the PutBucketACL operation	PutBucketACLResp	Yes

PutBucketACLReq contains the following member function:

// Define the ACL attribute of the bucket. Valid values: private, public-read-write, public-read
// Default: private
void SetXCosAcl(const std::string& str);
// Grant read permission in the format of x-cos-grant-read: id=" ",id=" ".
// To authorize a sub-account, use id="qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<SubUin>"
// To authorize the root account, use id="qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<OwnerUin>"
void SetXCosGrantRead(const std::string& str);
// Grant write permission in the format of x-cos-grant-write: id=" ",id=" "./
// To authorize a sub-account, use id="qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<SubUin>",
// To authorize the root account, use id="qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<OwnerUin>"
void SetXCosGrantWrite(const std::string& str);
// Grant read-write permission in the format of x-cos-grant-full-control: id=" ",id=" ".
// To authorize a sub-account, use id="qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<SubUin>",
// To authorize the root account, use id="qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<OwnerUin>"
void SetXCosGrantFullControl(const std::string& str);
// ID of the bucket owner
void SetOwner(const Owner& owner);
// Set the grantee and permission to grant.
void SetAccessControlList(const std::vector<Grant>& grants);
// Add authorization for a single bucket.
void AddAccessControlList(const Grant& grant);

Note：

APIs such as SetXCosAcl, SetXCosGrantRead, SetXCosGrantWrite, and SetXCosGrantFullControl cannot be used together with SetAccessControlList or AddAccessControlList. This is because the former type is implemented with HTTP headers, while the latter is implemented by adding XML content to the body. The former type is preferred in the SDK.

Classes involved in this request are defined as follows:

struct Owner {
  // Information about the bucket owner
  std::string m_id; // Complete ID of the owner, formatted as qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<SubUin>
  std::string m_display_name;  // Name of the owner
};
struct Grantee {
  // "type" can be RootAccount or SubAccount.
  // If the type is “RootAccount”, enter the account ID in the “uin” field or enter "anyone" (representing all types of user) to replace “uin/<OwnerUin>” and “uin/<SubUin>”.
  // When “type” is “RootAccount”, “uin” represents the root account and “Subaccount” the sub-account.
  std::string m_type; 
  std::string m_id; // qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<SubUin>
  std::string m_display_name; // Optional
  std::string m_uri;
};
struct Grant {
  Grantee m_grantee; // Information about the grantee
  std::string m_perm; // Permission granted. Valid values: "READ", "WRITE", "FULL_CONTROL"
};

Querying a bucket ACL

API description

This API is used to query the ACL of a bucket.

Method prototype

CosResult GetBucketACL(const GetBucketACLReq& req, GetBucketACLResp* resp)

Sample request

qcloud_cos::CosConfig config("./config.json");
qcloud_cos::CosAPI cos(config);
std::string bucket_name = "examplebucket-1250000000";
qcloud_cos::GetBucketACLReq req(bucket_name);
qcloud_cos::GetBucketACLResp resp;
qcloud_cos::CosResult result = cos.GetBucketACL(req, &resp);
if (result.IsSucc()) {
  // Request successful. You can call the resp member functions to get the content returned.
} else {
  // Request failed. You can call the CosResult member functions to output the error information, such as requestID.
} 

Parameter description

Parameter	Description	Type	Required
req	Request of the GetBucketACL operation	GetBucketACLReq	Yes
resp	Response of the GetBucketACL operation	GetBucketACLResp	Yes

GetBucketACLResp contains the following member functions:

std::string GetOwnerID();
std::string GetOwnerDisplayName();
std::vector<Grant> GetAccessControlList();

Object ACL

Setting an object ACL

API description

This API is used to set an ACL for a specified object in a bucket.

Note：

You can configure up to 1,000 bucket ACLs. Do not set object ACL control unless absolutely necessary. The object inherits bucket permissions by default.

There are two types of ACL policies: predefined ACLs (CannedAccessControlList) and custom ACLs (AccessControlList). If both of them are set, the custom ACL prevails over the predefined ACL.

Method prototype

CosResult PutObjectACL(const PutObjectACLReq& req, PutObjectACLResp* resp)

Sample request

qcloud_cos::CosConfig config("./config.json");
qcloud_cos::CosAPI cos(config);
std::string bucket_name = "examplebucket-1250000000";
std::string object_name = "test";
// 1. Set the ACL configuration (through the body. You can set the ACL through either the body or header, but you may only use one of these two methods; otherwise, a conflict will occur)
{   
  qcloud_cos::PutObjectACLReq req(bucket_name, object_name);
  qcloud_cos::Owner owner = {"qcs::cam::uin/xxxxx:uin/xxx", "qcs::cam::uin/xxxxxx:uin/xxxxx" };
  qcloud_cos::Grant grant;
  req.SetOwner(owner);
  grant.m_grantee.m_type = "Group";
  grant.m_grantee.m_uri = "http://cam.qcloud.com/groups/global/AllUsers";
  grant.m_perm = "READ";
  req.AddAccessControlList(grant);
   qcloud_cos::PutObjectACLResp resp;
  qcloud_cos::CosResult result = cos.PutObjectACL(req, &resp);
  if (result.IsSucc()) {
      // Request successful
  } else {
      // Request failed. You can call the CosResult member functions to output the error information, such as requestID.
  } 
}   
// 2. Set the ACL configuration (through the header. You can set the ACL through either the body or header, but you may only use one of these two methods; otherwise, a conflict will occur)
{   
  qcloud_cos::PutObjectACLReq req(bucket_name, object_name);                                                                                                                    
  req.SetXCosAcl("public-read-write");
   qcloud_cos::PutObjectACLResp resp;
  qcloud_cos::CosResult result = cos.PutObjectACL(req, &resp);
  if (result.IsSucc()) {
      // Request successful
  } else {
      // Request failed. You can call the CosResult member functions to output the error information, such as requestID.
  } 
}   

Parameter description

Parameter	Description	Type	Required
req	Request of the PutObjectACL operation	PuttObjectACLReq	Yes
resp	Response of the PutObjectACL operation	PutObjectACLResp	Yes

PutObjectACLReq contains the following member functions:

// Define the ACL attribute of the object. Valid values: private, public-read
// Default: private
void SetXCosAcl(const std::string& str);
// Grant read permission in the format: id="[OwnerUin]"
