Hi there! 👋

Quick update: DigitalOcean has implemented the ability to have different access keys per bucket in Spaces!

This allows you to limit access to specific buckets with unique keys and secrets, giving you more control over who can access your data.

For full details, check out the official documentation here: 🔗 Manage Access Keys for Spaces

A couple of things to note:

Legacy “All Permissions” access keys cannot be converted into per-bucket keys — you’ll need to create new ones.
Currently, access keys can only be created in the UI (API support is on the way!).
Buckets using PutBucketPolicy support only legacy keys for now, but integration with per-bucket keys is in the works.

DigitalOcean will be be announcing the feature to the wider community soon!

Hey,

I believe that this is not possible as of the time being. It looks like someone has had the same idea before and has posted it on the DigitalOCean Product Ideas board. The best thing to do would be to head over and add your vote to it, as well as adding any additional information in the comments for exactly what you’d like to see implemented!
