=head1 NAME
s3acl - Display or manipulate the ACL of AWS S3 buckets and items
=head1 SYNOPSIS
s3acl [options] [[bucket|bucket/key] ...]
Options:
--access-key AWS Access Key ID
--secret-key AWS Secret Access Key
--get Output the ACL to STDOUT
--xml in raw XML form instead of parsed form
--set Modify the ACL
--clear remove all grants from the ACL
--add grant,grant,... add grants to the ACL
--del grant,grant,... remove matching grants from the ACL
--xml apply the XML ACL from STDIN to the item
--acl-short cannedacl apply the "canned" ACL to the item
Environment:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 8
=item B<--help>
Print a brief help message and exits.
=item B<--man>
Prints the manual page and exits.
=item B<--verbose>
Output what is being done as it is done.
=item B<--access-key> and B<--secret-key>
Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account.
B<--access-key> is the "Access Key ID", and B<--secret-key> is
the "Secret Access Key". These are effectively the "username" and
"password" to the AWS account, and should be kept confidential.
The access keys MUST be specified, either via these command line
parameters, or via the B<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> and
B<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET> environment variables.
Specifying them on the command line overrides the environment
variables.
=item B<--secure>
Uses SSL/TLS HTTPS to communicate with the AWS service, instead of
HTTP.
=item B<--get>
Retreive and display the ACL for each specified bucket or item.
=item B<--xml>
When used with the B<--get> option, outputs to stdout the raw XML,
instead of parsed format. This raw XML is documented in the "Amazon
S3 Developer Guide".
If more than one bucket or item is specified, the XML ACL for each
will be output, concatenated together.
This is probably not very useful.
The raw XML output can be used as input for the B<--set> option, like so:
s3acl --get --xml bucketA | s3acl --set --xml bucketB bucketC
This does not work when specifying more than one bucket or item to the
B<--get> option, because the concatenation of multiple XML ACLs is not
a valid XML ACL.
=item B<--set>
Instead of displaying the ACL, modify it. An ACL can be modified by
using B<--clear>, B<--add>, and B<--del>, or by using B<--xml>, or by
using B<--acl-short>.
=item B<--clear>
Removes all of the grants from the ACL. This includes access by the
owner of the bucket or item. This is done before the B<--add> or
B<--del> options are applied, no matter what order options are specified
on the command line.
It is usually accompanied by the B<--add> option to add some grants
back to the now empty ACL.
=item B<--del>
Remove matching grants from the ACL. This is done before the B<--add>
option is applied, no matter what order options are specified on the
command line.
Grants are specified in parsed form, and then joined together by
commas with no whitespace.
There is an extention to the parsed grant format. If the grantee is
specified as "ANY", then it matches any and all grantees in the ACL.
If the permission is specified as "ANY", then it matches any
permission. Thus
s3acl --set --del ANY:READ mybucket
removes all grants that give READ permission, and
s3acl --set --del someuserid:ANY mybucket
removes all grants to the user someuserid
s3acl --set --del ANY:ANY mybucket
does the same thing as
s3acl --set --clear mybucket
Due to a limitation in the semantics of the S3 API, it is not possible
to delete a grantee by email address, only by canonical ID.
=item B<--add>
Add the specified grants to the ACL. Grants are specified in parsed
form, and then joined together by commas with no whitespace.
It is possible to add the same grant to a bucket or item more than
once. This is a surprising behavior of the S3 service.
=item B<--xml>
When used with B<--set>, and instead of using <--clear>, <--del>, and
B<--add>, read a raw XML ACL from STDIN, and then apply it to each
given bucket or item. This will completely overwrite the existing ACL
for each given bucket or item.
=item B<--acl-short>
Instead of using <--clear>, <--del>, and B<--add>, or using <--xml>,
apply a "canned ACL" to each given bucket or item. This will
completely overwrite the existing ACL for each given bucket or item.
The following canned ACLs are currently defined by S3:
=over 8
=item B<private>
Owner gets C<FULL_CONTROL>.
No one else has any access rights.
This is the default for newly created buckets and items.
=item B<public-read>
Owner gets C<FULL_CONTROL>.
The anonymous principal is granted C<READ> access.
=item B<public-read-write>
Owner gets C<FULL_CONTROL>.
The anonymous principal is granted C<READ> and C<WRITE> access.
This is a useful policy to apply to a bucket, if you intend for any
anonymous user to PUT objects into the bucket.
=item B<authenticated-read>
Owner gets C<FULL_CONTROL> .
Any principal authenticated as a registered Amazon S3 user is granted
C<READ> access.
=back
=item B<bucket> or B<bucket/key>
One or more bucket names or bucket and key names, specifies an item.
As many as possible will be be processed.
If just a bucket name is given, the ACL for that bucket is retreived
or modified.
If a bucket name and a key, seperated by a slash, is given,
the ACL for that key in that bucket is retreived or modified.
If a bucket name begins with one or more dashes, it might be mistaken
for a command line option. If this is the case, separate the command
line options from the bucket or bucket/key names with two dashes, like
so:
s3acl --get -- --bucketname/keyname
=back
=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
=over 8
=item B<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> and B<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET>
Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account.
B<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> contains the "Access Key ID", and
B<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET> contains the "Secret Access Key". These are
effectively the "username" and "password" to the AWS service, and
should be kept confidential.
The access keys MUST be specified, either via these environment
variables, or via the B<--access-key> and B<--secret-key> command line
parameters.
If the command line parameters are set, they override these
environment variables.
=back
=head1 CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration options will be read from the file C<~/.s3-tools> if it
exists. The format is the same as the command line options with one option
per line. For example, the file could contain:
--access-key <AWS access key>
--secret-key <AWS secret key>
--secure
This example configuration file would specify the AWS access keys and that a
secure connection using HTTPS should be used for all communications.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Retrieves and outputs the Access Control List (ACL) of buckets
and of items in buckets in the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).
=head2 Principals
(Much of the following text is taken from the "Amazon S3 Developer
Guide (API Version 2006-03-01)".)
Every bucket and item has an Access Control List (ACL). When a request
is made, S3 determines the principal making the request, and then
checks the access control list to see if that principal is authorized
to make the request. If the ACL contains an entry authorizing that
principal to make this request, the request is allowed to proceed,
otherwise an error is returned.
A principal may be someone with an AWS S3 account who has logged in,
or "authenticated". The principal might be the creator and owner of
the bucket or item. Or the principal might be some anonymous web
browser out on the internet.
=head2 ACL is sequence of grants. A grant is 1 grantee and 1 permission.
An access control list is a sequence of grants. It may contain up to
100 grants. A grant is composed of one grantee, which is a description
of the principal who will be allowed access, and one permission, which
is a description of what that principal is allowed to do with that
bucket or item.
=head2 User Grantee
A user grantee must be registered as an Amazon.com customer, but does
not have to be registered as an AWS customer.
When an ACL is read, the user grantee will be displayed in a canonical
format, which consists of 64 hex characters. The exception is if the
grantee is the owner. Amazon still stores and returns the grantee in
canonical form, but this tool displays it as "OWNER".
=head2 Group Grantee
The only groups available are those pre-defined by S3.
In the current release of S3, you cannot create your own group.
There are currently two pre-defined groups.
The first is represented by the string "WORLD" by this tool. All
principals, whether they are anonymous or authenticated, are
considered part of this group.
The second is represented by the string "USERS" by this tool. Every
non-anonymous principal is considered part of the group. Note that
permission granted by virtue of this grant does not trump other access
control considerations. For example, if a user is registered with AWS,
they may be part of this group, but if they have not subscribed to S3,
they will still not be granted access.
There is also a special pseudo group with the string "ANY". It is
used by the B<--del> option to match against a ACL item to select
for deletion.
If Amazon updates S3 to define any additional groups before this tool
is updated, they will be represented as a URI surrounded by angle
brackets.
=head2 Owner
Every bucket and item in S3 has an owner attribute associated with
it. The owner the user that created the bucket or item. The only way
to change the owner of a bucket is to delete the bucket and create it
again under a different user identity. The only way to change the
owner of an item is to overwrite the item using a different identity.
The owner of a bucket or item is subject to the access control policy
of that bucket or item just like everybody else, with two notable
exceptions: The owner of a resource always has the ability to read and
write the ACL of that resource, no matter what the associated ACL
says. For example, as the owner of an item, you could remove yourself
from the associated access control list, and find that you can no
longer read the item's data and metadata. However, by virtue of being
owner, you always have the right to re-grant yourself permissions to
it. This policy prevents the situation where an item becomes
"stranded," with nobody able to ever modify or even delete it.
=head2 Permissions
The permission in a grant describes the type of access to be granted
to the respective grantee. The following permissions are supported:
=over 8
=item READ
When applied to a bucket, this grants permission to list the
bucket. When applied to an item, this grants permission to read the
item data and/or metadata.
=item WRITE
When applied to a bucket, this grants permission to create, overwrite,
and delete any item in the bucket. This permission is not supported
for items (it is reserved for future use).
=item READ_ACP
Grants permission to read the access control policy (ACL and owner)
for the applicable bucket or item. The owner of a bucket or item
always has this permission implicitly.
=item WRITE_ACP
Grants permission to overwrite the ACP for the applicable bucket or
item. The owner of a bucket or item always has this permission
implicitly. Note that granting this permission is equivalent to
granting FULL_CONTROL, because the grant recipient can now make any
whatever changes to the ACP he or she likes!
=item FULL_CONTROL
This permission is short-hand for the union of READ, WRITE, READ_ACP,
and WRITE_ACP permissions. It does not convey additional rights, and
is provided only for convenience. It is probably unwise to give this
permission to WORLD.
=item ANY
This is not really a permission, but is used by the B<--del> option.
It matches any permission to select a grant for deletion.
=back
=head2 Default ACL
If no ACL is provided at the time a bucket is created or an item
written then a default ACL is created. The default ACL for new
resources consists of a single grant that gives the owner of the
resource (i.e. the principal making the request to create the bucket
or to write the item) FULL_CONTROL permission. Note that if you
overwrite an existing item, the ACL for the existing item is
always overwritten as well, and defaulted back to OWNER:FULL_CONTROL
if no explicit ACL is provided.
=head2 Raw XML ACL Format
The XML ACL format is documented in the "Amazon S3 Developer Guide".
=head2 Parsed ACL Format
This tool parses the raw XML ACL format into a more readable form.
A parsed ACL consists of several lines. Comments are lines that begin
with a hash character. Lines that are not comments are grants.
For buckets, the comments give the bucket name, and the Amazon
canonical user string for the owner.
For items, the comments give the bucket name, the item key, and the
Amazon canonical user string for the owner.
A grant is grantee string and a permission string, seperated with a
colon character. A grantee can be one of the strings "OWNER",
"WORLD", or "USERS", or a URI wrapped in angle brackets, or the email
address of an Amazon user, or a Amazon canonical user string, which is
64 hex characters. A permission is one of the strings "READ",
"WRITE", "READ_ACP", "WRITE_ACP", or "FULL_CONTROL".

=head1 BUGS
Report bugs to Mark Atwood L<mark@fallenpegasus.com>.
Occasionally the S3 service will randomly fail for no externally
apparent reason. When that happens, this tool should retry, with a
delay and a backoff.
Access to the S3 service can be authenticated with a X.509
certificate, instead of via the "AWS Access Key Identifiers". This
tool should support that.
It might be useful to be able to specify the "AWS Access Key
Identifiers" in the user's C<~/.netrc> file. This tool should support
that.
Errors and warnings are very "Perl-ish", and can be confusing.
Trying to access a bucket or item that does not exist or is not
accessable by the user generates less than helpful error messages.
L<Net::Amazon::S3> already uses L<XML::LibXML> and
L<XML::LibXML::XPathContext>, so this tool should use those instead of
using L<XML::Writer>, to have fewer module
dependences.
It is possible to add the same grant to a bucket or item more than
once. This is a surprising behavior of the S3 service. Both
identical grants will be removed by using the B<--del> option.
Due to a limitation in the semantics of the S3 API, it is not possible
to delete a grantee by email address, only by canonical ID.
