In certain scenarios, such as microservice applications, front-end users may only require read access to files (such as images, videos, audio, etc.), while file creation is managed by a separate entity like an administrator or a Backoffice app. In such cases, for security reasons, it's imperative to restrict front-end users to read-only permissions, preventing any modification or deletions of files. The S3 File System Grant Plus module addresses this specific need effectively.
Features
- Provides the ability to grant read-only permissions to another account within the S3 bucket, enhancing security and access control.
Post-Installation
- Go to the s3fs configuration page (`/admin/config/media/s3fs`)
- Configure your AWS credentials and S3 bucket settings.
- Enter the account's ID that is supposed to have read-only access to files.
Additional Requirements
- Drupal s3fs module.
Recommended modules/libraries
When using this module, it's important to note that it prevents front-end users from generating image styles on the fly. To address this issue, we recommend automatically generating all image styles at the time of image creation.
For this purpose, we suggest utilizing the Image Style Warmer module, which efficiently handles the automatic generation of image styles, ensuring smooth functionality within your Drupal environment.
