Overview
Users can modify bucket access permissions through the console and API. The COS console supports three types of access permissions by default: private read/write, public read and private write, and public read/write.
- Private read/write: Only the creator of the bucket and authorized accounts have read/write permission on the objects in the bucket. No one else has read/write permissions. The default access permission of a bucket is private read/write, which is recommended.
- Public read and private write: Anyone (including anonymous visitors) has read permission to objects in the bucket, but only the bucket creator and authorized accounts have write permission to objects in the bucket.
- Public read and write: anyone (including anonymous visitors) has read/write permission on the objects in the bucket, which is not recommended.
