Dell ObjectScale 1.3 Administration Guide

Bucket policies provide fine grained control over permissions for bucket operations and for operations on objects within the bucket. Policy conditions are used to assign permissions for a range of objects that match the condition and are used to automatically assign permissions to newly uploaded objects.

Policies are defined in JSON format in the Text view of the policy editor. Once defined a policy can be viewed in the Tree view. The syntax used for policies is the same as that used for Amazon AWS. The operations for which permissions can be assigned are limited to those operations supported by ObjectScale.

The bucket policy editor has a code view and a tree view.

• The code view enables you to enter JSON policies from scratch or to paste existing policies into the editor and modified. For example, if you have existing policies in JSON format, you can paste them into the code view and modify them.
• The tree view provides a mechanism for navigating a policy and is useful where you have a large number of statements in a policy. You can expand and contract the statements and search them.
