Description: The ‘Bucket Policy Only’ access control in cloud storage services refers to a model where access to a specific bucket is determined solely by the access policy configured for that bucket. This means that, unlike other models that may allow object-level access configurations or depend on user credentials, in this approach, all decisions about who can access the data stored in the bucket are based on the rules defined in the bucket policy. This feature provides a clear and centralized way to manage data access, which can be particularly useful in environments where strict control over data security and privacy is required. Implementing ‘Bucket Policy Only’ allows administrators to define access permissions granularly, specifying who can read, write, or manage the bucket and its contents. Additionally, this approach simplifies auditing and regulatory compliance, as all access rules are contained in one place, making it easier to review and maintain data security.
