ObjectAccessControls

The ObjectAccessControls resources represent the Access Control Lists (ACLs) for objects within Google Cloud Storage. ACLs let you specify who has access to your data and to what extent.

There are two roles that can be assigned to an entity :

READER s can get an object, though the acl property will not be revealed.
OWNER s are READER s, and they can get the acl property, update an object, and call all objectAccessControls methods on the object . The owner of an object is always an OWNER .

For more information, see Access Control , with the caveat that this API uses


            READER

and


            OWNER

instead of


            READ

and


            FULL_CONTROL

For a list of methods for this resource, see the end of this page.

get: Returns the ACL entry for the specified entity on the specified object .
insert: Creates a new ACL entry on the specified object .
