Managing Objects

Object Browser

The Object Browser lists the buckets and objects the authenticated user has access to on the deployment.

After logging in or navigating to the tab, the object browser displays a list of the user’s buckets, which the user can filter. Select a bucket to show a list of objects in the bucket.

Select a specific object to display summary information about the object such as name, size, tags, holds, and retention policies that apply. The console also shows the object’s metadata.

The user can perform actions on the bucket’s objects, depending on the policies and permissions that apply. Example actions the user may be able to perform include:

• Rewind to a previous version

• Create prefixes

• View deleted objects

• Upload objects

• Download objects

• Share

• Preview

• Manage tags

• Inspect

• Display versions

• Delete

Buckets

The Console’s Bucket section displays all buckets to which the authenticated user has access.

Select Create Bucket to create a new bucket on the deployment. Buckit validates bucket names. To see the rules for bucket names, select View Bucket Naming Rules.

Buckit does not limit the total number of buckets allowed on a deployment. However, Buckit recommends no more than 500,000 buckets per deployment as a general guideline.

While creating a bucket, you can enable versioning, object locking, bucket size (quota) limits, and retention rules (which require versioning).

You can configure locking and versioning options only when you create the bucket. You cannot change these settings for the bucket later.
