SetObjectAccessControlPolicy (SOAP API) - 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).

SetObjectAccessControlPolicy (SOAP API)

Note

SOAP support over HTTP is deprecated, but it is still available over HTTPS. New Amazon S3 features will not be supported for SOAP. We recommend that you use either the REST API or the Amazon SDKs.

The SetObjectAccessControlPolicy operation sets the access control policy for an existing object. If successful, the previous access control policy for the object is entirely replaced with the specified access control policy.

Example

This example gives the specified user (usually the owner) FULL_CONTROL access to the "Nelson" object from the "quotes" bucket.

Sample Request

<SetObjectAccessControlPolicy xmlns="http://doc.s3.amazonaws.com/2006-03-01"> <Bucket>quotes</Bucket> <Key>Nelson</Key> <AccessControlList> <Grant> <Grantee xsi:type="CanonicalUser"> <ID>a9a7b886d6fd24a52fe8ca5bef65f89a64e0193f23000e241bf9b1c61be666e9</ID> <DisplayName>chriscustomer</DisplayName> </Grantee> <Permission>FULL_CONTROL</Permission> </Grant> </AccessControlList> <AWSAccessKeyId>AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE</AWSAccessKeyId> <Timestamp>2006-03-01T12:00:00.183Z</Timestamp> <Signature>Iuyz3d3P0aTou39dzbqaEXAMPLE=</Signature> </SetObjectAccessControlPolicy>

Sample Response

<SetObjectAccessControlPolicyResponse xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01"> <SetObjectAccessControlPolicyResponse> <Code>200</Code> <Description>OK</Description> </SetObjectAccessControlPolicyResponse> </SetObjectAccessControlPolicyResponse>

Key

Important

Replacement must be made for object keys containing special characters (such as carriage returns) when using XML requests. For more information, see XML related object key constraints.

Access Control

You must have WRITE_ACP rights to the object in order to set the access control policy for a bucket.
