Admin: Effective Access Audit

Use Admin > Audit & Reporting > Access audit to review the BucketReef permissions that are currently granted to UI users after direct assignments and UI Group inheritance are combined.

What the audit shows

Each row represents one UI user and one permission target. The supported scopes are Platform, RGW Account, RGW User, and S3 Connection. The Effective rights column lists the resulting BucketReef rights. Hover or focus that list to review every right together with its source: a direct assignment, one or more UI Groups, or both.

Inactive UI users remain visible so their saved authorization state can still be reviewed. Private S3 connections are excluded from the Admin inventory; only Admin-managed shared S3 connections appear.

This page audits BucketReef UI authorization. It does not evaluate storage-side IAM policies, bucket policies, S3 ACLs, object permissions, or other permissions enforced by the S3 provider.

Filtering and export

Search across users, targets, rights, and UI Group names. Use Scope, Right, and Source to narrow the inventory. Selecting a right keeps the complete effective-right summary for each matching row so its other effective rights and grant sources remain visible in context.

Use Export CSV to download the complete filtered inventory. Pagination does not limit the export.

Reviewing one resource

The edit pages for UI Users, RGW Accounts, RGW Users, and Shared S3 Connections include a read-only Effective access tab. It shows the saved effective permissions for the current user or resource and links back to the global Access audit with the corresponding context filters applied.

The tab reflects persisted state. Save pending association or permission changes before using it to verify the resulting access.

Visual example

The Admin workspace provides the navigation context for the global access audit and the related user, account, RGW user, and shared-connection editors.
