Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of DO API support for per-bucket access keys, mixed permissions support for per-bucket access keys, and the public preview of Spaces access logs, delivering greater automation, visibility, and security to DigitalOcean Spaces object storage. Building on the success of per-bucket access keys, we’re introducing two major upgrades that are now generally available to all customers to streamline storage access management: DO API support for managing access keys – Manage Spaces access keys programmatically using the DigitalOcean API, enabling automation through the DigitalOcean Terraform Provider, doctl CLI, DigitalOcean Go API Client (godo), and DigitalOcean’s Python library (PyDo).

More granular access control – A single access key can now be configured with permissions that vary by bucket. This lets you grant read-only permissions for some buckets and read-write permissions for other buckets to a single person or application.

These enhancements simplify storage management for customers handling large-scale deployments, automated backups, and security-driven workflows. Explore the documentation to use DO API and manage mixed-permissions access keys. You can start using these new features right now. Spaces access logs are now available in public preview to provide detailed records of read and write requests to your Spaces buckets, helping you to better understand usage and enhance security.
