Overview
DreamObjects allows you to set public and private permissions on Buckets. These permissions control what information is available when accessing the Objects within it.
Bucket permissions
You can view your 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 toggle between public and private permissions for this Bucket.
What does this change?
Bucket permissions control how information can be viewed publicly online.
Object permissions
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.
Can I view my Objects in a private bucket?
Yes. It does not matter if the Bucket's permissions are set to Public or Private; you will always be able to view your Objects using the Object's correct URL. The current share URL depends on whether the Object is set to 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 Objects within it?
Yes. You can simply change the permissions in the panel for the bucket, and all of the objects within that bucket will inherit the same permissions level.
