Description: Bucket access control in cloud storage systems is a fundamental mechanism that defines who can access a bucket and what actions they can perform on it. A bucket is a container for storing objects, and access control ensures that only authorized users or services can interact with that data. This control is implemented through access policies that can be configured at the bucket or object level, allowing for granularity in permission management. Administrators can assign specific roles to users, such as reader, writer, or owner, granting them different levels of access. Additionally, cloud storage systems allow the use of access control lists (ACLs) and identity and access management (IAM) policies to manage in a more detailed manner who can perform actions like reading, writing, or deleting objects. The relevance of this control lies in the protection of sensitive data and compliance with security regulations, as it ensures that only the appropriate people or applications have access to the stored information. In an environment where collaboration and data sharing are common, bucket access control becomes an essential tool for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of cloud data.
