<?dbhtml stop-chunking?>
<para>The OpenStack Object Storage service provides the
<command>swift</command> client, which is a command-line
interface (CLI). Use this client to list objects and containers,
upload objects to containers, and download or delete objects from
containers. You can also gather statistics and update metadata for
accounts, containers, and objects.</para>
<para>This client is based on the native swift client library,
<literal>client.py</literal>, which seamlessly re-authenticates
if the current token expires during processing, retries operations
multiple times, and provides a processing concurrency of
10.</para>

<para>Users have roles on accounts. For example, a user with
the admin role has full access to all containers and objects
in an account. You can set access control lists (ACLs) at
the container level and support lists for read and write
access, which you set with the
<literal>X-Container-Read</literal> and
<literal>X-Container-Write</literal> headers.</para>
<para>To give a user read access, use the <command>swift
post</command> command with the <parameter>-r</parameter>
parameter. To give a user write access, use the
<parameter>-w</parameter> parameter.</para>
<para>The following example enables the
<literal>testuser</literal> user to read objects in the
container:</para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>swift post -r 'testuser'</userinput></screen>
<para>You can also use this command with a list of
users.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you use StaticWeb middleware to enable Object Storage
to serve public web content, use <literal>.r:</literal>,
followed by a list of allowed referrers.</para>
<para>The following command gives object access to all
referring domains:</para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>swift post -r '.r:*'</userinput></screen>
