Scenario

In practice, you may need to modify the read/write permissions for an object for the following reasons:

• Data security: You can adjust the read/write permissions for an object to ensure that data within the bucket is accessible exclusively to authorized users or systems. This approach mitigates the risks of data leakage and unauthorized access, thereby enhancing data security.

• Data sharing: You may need to share specific objects with other users or the public in some scenarios. You can grant read/write permissions for an object to specific users for data sharing purposes, or to the public for resource sharing, such as distributing media content or facilitating data transfer.

Solution Description

• You can switch between private, public read, and public read/write permissions for a file using the console. It is recommended to keep files private to ensure data security.

• Changing the read/write permissions for a bucket does not affect existing files within the bucket. However, newly uploaded files will inherit the updated bucket permissions.
