Set up and view CORS configurations

Overview Configuration samples

Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) allows interactions between resources from different origins, something that is normally prohibited in order to prevent malicious behavior. Use this page to learn how to set a CORS configuration on a Cloud Storage bucket and how to view the CORS configuration set on a bucket. See Configuration examples for CORS for example CORS configurations.

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to set and view the CORS configuration on a bucket, ask your administrator to grant you the Storage Admin (roles/storage.admin) role on the bucket.

This predefined role contains the permissions required to set and view CORS configurations. To see the exact permissions that are required, expand the Required permissions section:

Required permissions

storage.buckets.get
storage.buckets.update

You can also get these permissions with other predefined roles or custom roles.

For information about granting roles on buckets, see Set and manage IAM policies on buckets.

Set the CORS configuration on a bucket

You set a CORS configuration on a bucket by specifying information, such as HTTP methods and originating domains, that identifies the types of requests the bucket can accept.

Use the following steps to set a CORS configuration on your bucket:

Client libraries

C++

For more information, see the Cloud Storage C++ API reference documentation.

To authenticate to Cloud Storage, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for client libraries.

The following sample sets a CORS configuration on a bucket:

namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
[](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
   std::string const& origin) {
  StatusOr<gcs::BucketMetadata> original =
      client.GetBucketMetadata(bucket_name);

  if (!original) throw std::move(original).status();
  std::vector<gcs::CorsEntry> cors_configuration;
  cors_configuration.emplace_back(
      gcs::CorsEntry{3600, {"GET"}, {origin}, {"Content-Type"}});

  StatusOr<gcs::BucketMetadata> patched = client.PatchBucket(
      bucket_name,
      gcs::BucketMetadataPatchBuilder().SetCors(cors_configuration),
      gcs::IfMetagenerationMatch(original->metageneration()));
  if (!patched) throw std::move(patched).status();

  if (patched->cors().empty()) {
    std::cout << "Cors configuration is not set for bucket "
              << patched->name() << "\n";
    return;
  }

  std::cout << "Cors configuration successfully set for bucket "
            << patched->name() << "\nNew cors configuration: ";
  for (auto const& cors_entry : patched->cors()) {
    std::cout << "\n  " << cors_entry << "\n";
  }
}

C#

        {
            bucket.Cors = new List<CorsData>();

Remove the CORS configuration from a bucket

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Storage Buckets page.

Go to Buckets
Click the name of the bucket.
Click the Configuration tab.
In the Cross-origin resource sharing section, click Edit CORS configuration.
Do either of the following things:
- To delete a specific CORS configuration, click Delete for the configuration that you want to remove.
- To turn off CORS and delete all CORS configurations for the bucket, clear the Allow cross-origin resource sharing checkbox.
Click Save.

Command line

To remove the CORS configuration from a bucket, use the gcloud storage buckets update command with the --clear-cors flag:

gcloud storage buckets update gs://BUCKET_NAME --clear-cors

Replace BUCKET_NAME with the name of the bucket whose CORS configuration you want to remove.
