Overview
DreamObjects lets you set public or private permissions on your buckets. These permissions control what information is available when someone accesses the objects within a bucket.
How do I set bucket permissions?
You can view and change a bucket's permissions on the DreamObjects page:
- Click your username to expand your bucket list.
- Click the Change Settings link to the right of a bucket.
- Click the 'PERMISSIONS' toggle in the pop-up to switch between public and private permissions for the bucket.
What does this change?
Bucket permissions control how information can be viewed publicly online.
How do object permissions work?
Objects automatically inherit the same permissions as their bucket. Each object displays a permissions label so you can verify the bucket's settings. However, you cannot edit an object's permissions individually — changes must be made at the bucket level.
If you need different permissions for specific objects, place them into separate buckets and assign the desired permissions to each bucket.
Frequently asked questions
Can I view my objects in a private bucket?
Yes. Whether the bucket's permissions are set to public or private, you can always view your objects using the object's correct URL. The share URL depends on whether the object is public or private: public objects have a simple URL, whereas private objects have a longer URL with a unique timestamp.
Does changing a bucket's permissions in the panel change the permissions of the objects within it?
Yes. When you change a bucket's permissions in the panel, all of the objects within that bucket inherit the same permission level.
