NAME

Net::Amazon::S3::ACL - work with Amazon S3 Access Control Lists

VERSION

This document describes Net::Amazon::S3::ACL version 0.1.0. Most likely, this version number here is outdate, and you should peek the source.

SYNOPSIS

   use Net::Amazon::S3::ACL;

   # analysis. Say you have a Net::Amazon::S3::Bucket...
   my $xml_acl = $bucket->get_acl();
   my $acl = Net::Amazon::S3::ACL->new({xml => $xml_acl});

   # Now you can use it
   print $acl->dump();

   my $owner_id = $acl->owner_id();
   my $owner_display_name = $acl->owner_displayname();

   while (my ($name, $grant) = each %{$acl->grants()}) {
      print "Policy for '$name':\n";

      (my $type = ref $grant) =~ s/.*:://;
      print "   Type: $grant->{type}\n";

      if ($type eq 'ID') {
         print "   AWS ID: ", $grant->id(), "\n";
         print "   AWS Display Name: ", $grant->displayname(), "\n";
      }
      elsif ($type eq 'Email') {
         print "   email address: ", $grant->email(), "\n";
      }
      elsif ($type eq 'URI') {
         print "   group definition URI: ", $grant->URI(), "\n";
      }

      print '   Permissions: ', join(', ', @{$grant->{permissions}}), "\n";
   }

   $acl->clear(); # wipe all grants in ACL object

   # Straightforward addition of permissions, DWIM
   $acl->add(
      'foo@example.com' => 'READ',   # seems email, added as such
      'http://whatever/' => 'WRITE', # seems URI, added as such
      'dafadfda908940394...' => '*', # added as AWS identifier
   );

   # Detailed addition of permissions, e.g. by ID
   my $grant = Net::Amazon::S3::Grant::ID->new(
      {
         ID => 'long-AWS-ID-here',
         displayname => 'display-name-here',
         permissions => [qw( WRITE READ READ_ACP )],
      }
   );
   $acl->add($grant);

   my $ID = 'some-AWS-ID';
   $acl->delete($ID); # remove whole ACL for given ID
   $acl->delete($ID => 'READ'); # remove this permission only
   $acl->delete($ID => [qw( READ WRITE )]); # remove these permissions only

   # install new ACL
   $bucket->set_acl({acl_xml => $acl->stringify()});
   $bucket->set_acl({acl_xml => $acl->stringify(), key => 'whatever'});

DESCRIPTION

This module represents an S3 Access Control List; it is a representation of the XML ACL that is easier to handle. As such, there are methods that ease passing from one representation to the other, namely "parse" (to parse an XML document into an object) and "stringify" (to get the XML representation of the ACL).

An ACL (or, better, a Net::Amazon::S3::ACL object) contains the following:

owner

the owner of the resource. It is represented by two different fields in the ACL, each with its accessors, namely:

owner_id

that long string that identifies an AWS customer;

owner_displayname

the DisplayName in Amazon's terminology.

grants

the list of grants that are associated to the resource. It is represented by a hash reference in which the keys identify the grantee, and the values are Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant objects (in particular, each item will be a suitable specialisation of a grant object).

See Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant and related documentation for more details.

As a general note, you don't need to bother with grants list internals if you want to set it: just use the "add", "delete" and "clear" convienience methods, that try to DWIM.

INTERFACE

new

create a new ACL object. You can pass initialisation values for the members via a configuration hash (this can be useful if you want to do a shallow copy of another ACL object), or an XML document to parse:

owner_id
owner_displayname

these are what you already suspect.

grants

a hash reference pointing to the grants.

xml

if passed, the "parse" method is called to initialise the object. This overrides any parameter given in the configuration hash.

Returns a reference to the new ACL object.

parse

parse an XML document and fill the ACL in. The previous contents of the ACL object are wiped, if any.

Expects a single string with the XML document to parse.

Returns a reference to the ACL document itself.

stringify

renders the ACL object as an XML document that can be sent to S3.

Does not take parameters.

Returns the XML document.

dump

renders the ACL object as something readable. If the YAML module is available, it is used to produce the dump; otherwise the output of "stringify" is given back.

add

adds permissions for a given list of grantees.

Can accept different inputs. If given a single, blessed parameter, it is assumed to be the grant to be added, so it is inserted using the output of the key method to get a key for the grants hash.

Otherwise, it ccepts either a reference to a hash of grants to be added, or a list which is interpreted as a sequence of target/permissions pairs:

target (or keys in the hashref)

the grantee to which this addition apply. The actual target will be derived by means of "canonical" in Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant, so you can refer to items that are represented differently in the acl. For example, if yo specify a * target, the actual target will be the URI for the anonymous group. See "canonical" in Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant for more details about how you can specify a target.

permissions (or values in the hashref)

this can be either a string with a single permission to be added, or an array reference with a list of permissions to be added, or an acl item (see "DESCRIPTION" to know how acl items are structured).

Note that when given as a list, this is NOT transformed into a hash before the operations. This lets you specify the same target multiple times, and the permissions for each occurrence will be taken into account.

Also, note that this method's name is a bit misleading at the moment. It seems that AWS only supports a single permission for each grantee, so for example you can't set both READ and READ_ACP permissions for a given grantee on a given resource. Hopefully, things will change in the future. The bottom line is that the last thing that you "add" is the one that is actually set remotely.

delete

removes permissions for a given list of grantees.

Can accept different inputs. If given a single, blessed parameter, it is assumed to be the grant to be deleted. Otherwise, it accepts either a reference to a hash of grants to be deleted, or a list which is interpreted as a sequence of target/permissions pairs:

target (or keys in the hashref)

the grantee to which this deletion apply. The actual target will be derived by means of "canonical" in Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant, so you can refer to items that are represented differently in the acl. For example, if yo specify a * target, the actual target will be the URI for the anonymous group. See "canonical" in Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant for more details about how you can specify a target.

permissions (or values in the hashref, optionally populated)

this can be either a string with a single permission to be removed, or an array reference with a list of permissions to be removed, or an acl item (see "DESCRIPTION" to know how acl items are structured).

If absent or undef or containing an undefined permissions item, the whole grant for the target is deleted.

Note that when given as a list, this is NOT transformed into a hash before the operations. This lets you specify the same target multiple times, and the permissions for each occurrence will be taken into account.

clear

remove all grants in the ACL.

DIAGNOSTICS

This module does not die and produce diagnostics per-se, but only as a result of some forbidden operation in Net::Amazon::S3::ACL::Grant or its descendants. See them for a list of possible diagnostics messages.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Net::Amazon::S3::ACL requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Class::Accessor::Fast and, where needed, version. For XML parsing, XML::LibXML and XML::LibXML::XPathContext are needed too.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

No bugs have been reported.
