File Acl permissions

Is it possible to add permissions (allUsers:readers) to a file during uploading

var myBucket = gcs.bucket('testbucket');
var file = myBucket.file('test.png');
file.createWriteStream({
    gzip: true,
set permission to allUsers:readers
})

There is, though it's a little more wordy than our API is usually:

file.createWriteStream({
    metadata: {
      acl: [
        {
          entity: 'allUsers',
          role: gcloud.storage.acl.READER_ROLE
        }
      ]
    }
  });

I'm struggling to think of a clean way to make that easier, but if you have any ideas, we will gladly try to accommodate!

I have tried that, but the file gets uploaded and no permissions are set. Here is my modified code

fs.createReadStream('test.png')
              .pipe(file.createWriteStream({
                metadata:{
                    acl:[
                    {
                        entity:'allUsers',
                        role:gcs.acl.READER_ROLE
                    }
                    ]
                }
              }
              ))
              .on('error', function(err) {
                done();
              })
              .on('complete', function(metadata) {
                    done();

              });

am i missing something

I don't think so, that looks right to me. Can you paste what metadata returns in the complete callback?

Also, what version of gcloud are you running?

Am using version 0.18.0

It looks like the right permissions were added:

metadata.acl[0] = {
  // ...
  entity: 'allUsers',
  role: 'READER'
}

How are you verifying the file is not being given the right permissions?

I was accessing it using the console.developers.google.com UI, and i cant set any permissions using it
am getting

Please include at least one owner's permission

However i have tested the actual url and its accessible to the public.

I get the "Please include at least one owner's permission" if I try to remove the owner permission.

After clicking the X next to the owner's permission:

Does your permissions dialog look different than mine?

This is what i get on the permissions dialog (no permissions are listed)

and on the bucket list view

@jgeewax

@jgeewax I think you're the resident expert at ACLs. Is there any reason a file would say it uploaded would have this metadata, but then list nothing (see above screenshot)?

Anyone with leads on this issue?

Hmm weird. Is it possible that somehow we're overriding the owner (which should be the service account that uploaded the object) which leads to a weird situation in the UI?
