GetPublicAccessBlock - Amazon Simple Storage Service
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

GetPublicAccessBlock

Note

This operation is not supported for directory buckets.

Retrieves the PublicAccessBlock configuration for an Amazon S3 bucket. To use this operation, you must have the s3:GetBucketPublicAccessBlock permission. For more information about Amazon S3 permissions, see Specifying Permissions in a Policy.

Important

When Amazon S3 evaluates the PublicAccessBlock configuration for a bucket or an object, it checks the PublicAccessBlock configuration for both the bucket (or the bucket that contains the object) and the bucket owner's account. If the PublicAccessBlock settings are different between the bucket and the account, Amazon S3 uses the most restrictive combination of the bucket-level and account-level settings.

For more information about when Amazon S3 considers a bucket or an object public, see The Meaning of "Public".

Bucket

The name of the Amazon S3 bucket whose PublicAccessBlock configuration you want to retrieve.

Required: Yes

x-amz-expected-bucket-owner

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the account ID that you provide does not match the actual owner of the bucket, the request fails with the HTTP status code 403 Forbidden (access denied).

HTTP/1.1 200 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <PublicAccessBlockConfiguration> <BlockPublicAcls>boolean</BlockPublicAcls> <IgnorePublicAcls>boolean</IgnorePublicAcls> <BlockPublicPolicy>boolean</BlockPublicPolicy> <RestrictPublicBuckets>boolean</RestrictPublicBuckets> </PublicAccessBlockConfiguration>

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in XML format by the service.

PublicAccessBlockConfiguration

Root level tag for the PublicAccessBlockConfiguration parameters.

Required: Yes

BlockPublicAcls

Specifies whether Amazon S3 should block public access control lists (ACLs) for this bucket and objects in this bucket. Setting this element to TRUE causes the following behavior:

  • PUT Bucket ACL and PUT Object ACL calls fail if the specified ACL is public.

  • PUT Object calls fail if the request includes a public ACL.

  • PUT Bucket calls fail if the request includes a public ACL.

Enabling this setting doesn't affect existing policies or ACLs.

Type: Boolean

BlockPublicPolicy

Specifies whether Amazon S3 should block public bucket policies for this bucket. Setting this element to TRUE causes Amazon S3 to reject calls to PUT Bucket policy if the specified bucket policy allows public access.

Enabling this setting doesn't affect existing bucket policies.

Type: Boolean

IgnorePublicAcls

Specifies whether Amazon S3 should ignore public ACLs for this bucket and objects in this bucket. Setting this element to TRUE causes Amazon S3 to ignore all public ACLs on this bucket and objects in this bucket.

Enabling this setting doesn't affect the persistence of any existing ACLs and doesn't prevent new public ACLs from being set.

Type: Boolean

RestrictPublicBuckets

Specifies whether Amazon S3 should restrict public bucket policies for this bucket. Setting this element to TRUE restricts access to this bucket to only Amazon Web Services service principals and authorized users within this account if the bucket has a public policy.

Enabling this setting doesn't affect previously stored bucket policies, except that public and cross-account access within any public bucket policy, including non-public delegation to specific accounts, is blocked.

Type: Boolean
