Object Storage Service:Manage the ACL of an object (Go SDK V2)

Usage notes

• The sample code in this topic uses the China (Hangzhou) region (cn-hangzhou) as an example. The public endpoint is used by default. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud products in the same region, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the mappings between OSS regions and endpoints, see OSS regions and endpoints.

• This topic provides an example of how to obtain access credentials from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

• To set the access permissions of an object, you must have the oss:PutObjectAcl permission. To retrieve the access permissions of an object, you must have the oss:GetObjectAcl permission. For more information, see Grant a custom policy to a RAM user.

Types of ACLs

Objects support the following four types of access control lists (ACLs):

The ACL of an object takes precedence over the ACL of the bucket. For example, if the ACL of the bucket is private and the ACL of an object is public-read-write, all users have read and write permissions on the object. If no ACL is set for an object, the object inherits the ACL of the bucket.

Sample code

You can use the following code to set and retrieve the ACL of an object.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"flag"
	"log"

	"github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-oss-go-sdk-v2/oss"
	"github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-oss-go-sdk-v2/oss/credentials"
)

// Define global variables.
var (
	region     string // The region where the bucket is located.
	bucketName string // The name of the bucket.
	objectName string // The name of the object.
)

// The init function is used to initialize command-line parameters.
func init() {
	flag.StringVar(&region, "region", "", "The region in which the bucket is located.")
	flag.StringVar(&bucketName, "bucket", "", "The name of the bucket.")
	flag.StringVar(&objectName, "object", "", "The name of the object.")
}

func main() {
	// Parse command-line parameters.
	flag.Parse()

	// Check whether the region is empty.
	if len(region) == 0 {
		flag.PrintDefaults()
		log.Fatalf("invalid parameters, region required")
	}

	// Check whether the bucket name is empty.
	if len(bucketName) == 0 {
		flag.PrintDefaults()
		log.Fatalf("invalid parameters, bucket name required")
	}

	// Check whether the object name is empty.
	if len(objectName) == 0 {
		flag.PrintDefaults()
		log.Fatalf("invalid parameters, object name required")
	}

	// Load the default configurations and set the credential provider and region.
	cfg := oss.LoadDefaultConfig().
		WithCredentialsProvider(credentials.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()).
		WithRegion(region)

	// Create an OSS client.
	client := oss.NewClient(cfg)

	// Create a request to set the ACL of the object.
	putRequest := &oss.PutObjectAclRequest{
		Bucket: oss.Ptr(bucketName),  // The name of the bucket.
		Key:    oss.Ptr(objectName),  // The name of the object.
		Acl:    oss.ObjectACLPrivate, // Set the ACL of the object to private.
	}

	// Execute the operation to set the ACL of the object.
	putResult, err := client.PutObjectAcl(context.TODO(), putRequest)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to put object acl %v", err)
	}

	// Print the result of setting the object ACL.
	log.Printf("put object acl result:%#v\n", putResult)

	// Create a request to obtain the ACL (access control list) of the object.
	getRequest := &oss.GetObjectAclRequest{
		Bucket: oss.Ptr(bucketName), // The name of the bucket.
		Key:    oss.Ptr(objectName), // The name of the object.
	}

	// Execute the operation to obtain the ACL of the object.
	getResult, err := client.GetObjectAcl(context.TODO(), getRequest)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to get object acl %v", err)
	}

	// Print the result of obtaining the object ACL.
	log.Printf("get object acl result:%#v\n", getResult)
}
