Canned access control lists are predefined, built-in access control lists that you can use to share objects within your organization or publicly over the Internet.

Note: Setting a canned access control list to an object overwrites existing permissions configuration for the object.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have the required set of rights to share objects.
  • If you are an organization administrator, you can share objects that users in your organization own.
  • If you are an organization user, you can share objects, if you are the owner of the object, or the owner must assign either Full Control, or Read of ACL and Write of ACL permissions on the object.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the VMware Cloud Director tenant portal.
  2. From the More drop-down menu, select Object Storage.
  3. In the Buckets pane, navigate to the bucket or folder in which the object that you want to share resides.
  4. If you want to share a specific version of the object, display all versions of the object by using the Show Versions toggle button.
  5. Click the name of the object or the object version that you want to share.
  6. On the Permissions tab, click Set Canned ACL.
  7. Select a canned access control list name for the object and click Set ACL.
