V4 signing process with Cloud Storage tools

Skip to main content V4 signing process with Cloud Storage tools

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

V4 signing is a process you can use to generate signatures for authentication in Cloud Storage XML API requests. This page describes how to use the Google Cloud CLI and Cloud Storage client libraries to create signed URLs, using service account credentials. Signed URLs give time-limited read or write access to a specific Cloud Storage resource. If you want to make your own program for creating signed URLs, read V4 signing with your own program instead.

Note: HMAC credentials are not supported when using Cloud Storage tools to generate signed URLs. Before you begin

Before performing the tasks in this page, complete the following steps:

  1. Enable the Service Account Credentials API.

    Enable the API

  2. Create a service account. If you already have a service account that you want to use to sign URLs, you can skip this step.

  3. Give the service account sufficient permission such that it could perform the request that the signed URL will make. For example, if your signed URL will allow a user to read object data, the service account must itself have permission to read the object data.

    For the tasks described in this guide, ask your administrator to grant one of the following IAM roles to the service account:

    These predefined roles contain the permissions required to make signed URLs that download and upload objects. To see the exact permissions that are required, expand the Required permissions section:

    Required permissions

    You might also be able to get these permissions with custom roles or other predefined roles. To see which roles are associated with which permissions, refer to IAM roles for Cloud Storage.

  4. Have sufficient permission to sign blobs with the service account. Ask your administrator to grant the Service Account Token Creator role (roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator).

    This predefined role contain the permission required to sign blobs with a service account. To see the exact permission that is required, expand the Required permissions section:

    Required permissions

    You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles. To see which roles are associated with which permissions, refer to IAM roles for Cloud Storage.

    For instructions on granting roles on projects, see Manage access to projects.

Create a signed URL to download an object

To create a signed URL that can get an object from a bucket, complete the following steps:

Command line
  1. Use the gcloud storage sign-url command. For example, the following command creates a signed URL that allows users to download an object for 10 minutes:

    gcloud storage sign-url gs://BUCKET_NAME/OBJECT_NAME --impersonate-service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL --duration=10m

    Where:

    If successful, your response should look like:

    This URL can be used by any person to access the associated resource (in this case cat.jpeg) for the designated length of time (in this case, 10 minutes).

Create a signed URL to upload an object

To create a signed URL that can upload an object to a bucket, complete the following steps:

Command line
  1. Use the gcloud storage sign-url command. For example, the following command creates a signed URL that allows users to upload a file for one hour:

    gcloud storage sign-url gs://BUCKET_NAME/OBJECT_NAME --impersonate-service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL --http-verb=PUT --duration=1h --headers=content-type=CONTENT_TYPE
