Public access makes a bucket available to any Internet user. This includes the ability to read objects from the bucket. Make sure there is no sensitive data in a bucket that you make public.
By default, public use of a bucket, folder, or file is allowed only by certain paid (not trial) accounts. If your account does not have access to this feature, contact Wasabi Support at support@wasabi.com for assistance.
You can enable and disable public access as described below. Any Internet user will have access. Or, you can use a policy to make access available to:
- Specific IP addresses
- Public (any Internet user)
