Owners don’t need rules. For everyone else, at least one Allow rule must match and no Deny rule in any of their roles. The connection’s bucket scopes and the storage key can limit things further, for everyone.

Outside the organisation

Someone with a share link can download that one file until the link expires, without an account. The link stops working early if it’s revoked, if the person who created it loses Read or Share on the file or leaves the organisation, or if an Owner or Admin switches share links off.

Someone with a file request can upload files into one folder until the link expires or reaches its limits, without an account. They can’t see, download, or change anything in the folder. The link stops working early if it’s revoked, if its creator loses Write or Share on the folder or leaves the organisation, or if an Owner or Admin switches file requests off.

An AI client can do what the roles its user approved allow, until the access expires or is revoked. With Read it can list and create download links, with Read and Share it can create share links, and with Write it can upload. It can never delete, create folders, or manage anything. Links it creates stop working when its access ends.
