Example Usage from GitHub

main.tf#L71
resource "google_storage_object_acl" "index_acl" {
  bucket      = module.static_site.website_bucket_name
  object      = google_storage_bucket_object.index.name
  role_entity = ["READER:allUsers"]
}

main.tf#L69
resource "google_storage_object_acl" "index_acl" {
  bucket      = module.static_site.website_bucket_name
  object      = google_storage_bucket_object.index.name
  role_entity = ["READER:allUsers"]
}

main.tf#L44
resource "google_storage_object_acl" "index_acl" {
  bucket      = module.www_site.website_bucket_name
  object      = google_storage_bucket_object.index.name
  role_entity = ["READER:allUsers"]
}

main.tf#L71
resource "google_storage_object_acl" "index_acl" {
  bucket      = module.static_site.website_bucket_name
  object      = google_storage_bucket_object.index.name
  role_entity = ["READER:allUsers"]
}

Parameters

Explanation in Terraform Registry

Authoritatively manages the access control list (ACL) for an object in a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket. Removing a google_storage_object_acl sets the acl to the private predefined ACL. For more information see the official documentation and API. -> Want fine-grained control over object ACLs? Use google_storage_object_access_control to control individual role entity pairs.

Tips: Best Practices for The Other Google Cloud Storage Resources

In addition to the google_storage_bucket, Google Cloud Storage has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.

Ensure uniform bucket-level access of your GCS bucket is enabled

It is better to enable uniform bucket-level access of the GCS bucket. Uniform bucket-level access unifies and simplifies how you grant access to resources in the bucket.

Review your Google Cloud Storage settings

In addition to the above, there are other security points you should be aware of making sure that your .tf files are protected in Shisho Cloud.
