mc anonymous get

Syntax

The mc anonymous get command gets the anonymous (i.e. unauthenticated or public) access policies for a bucket.

Buckets with anonymous policies allow clients to access the bucket contents and perform actions consistent with the specified policy without authentication.

To get the JSON policy assigned to the bucket, use the mc anonymous get-json command.

The following command retrieves the anonymous access policy for the mydata bucket on the myminio MinIO deployment:

mc anonymous get myminio/mydata

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] policy get ALIAS
  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
  • Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Parameters

ALIAS

mc-cmd

Required The full path to the bucket or bucket prefix for which the command retrieves the anonymous bucket policy.

Specify the alias of the MinIO or other S3-compatible service and the full path to the bucket or bucket prefix. For example:

mc anonymous get public play/mybucket

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Examples

Get Anonymous Policy for Bucket

Use mc anonymous get to get the anonymous policy for a bucket:

mc anonymous get ALIAS/PATH
  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of a configured S3-compatible host.
  • Replace PATH with the destination bucket.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

SILO is the supported server for PGSTY mcli; compatibility with upstream MinIO and other S3 services is best effort.
