Using CDN/Bucket URL Directly for Payload Uploads

  Is it possible to configure that to use access control for draft content, but bypass for published content?

  
  
  

  Wait, can you have draft media content? Maybe that's not a thing

• 

  zed0547last year

  You

  can

  use drafts on media but it's kind of weird to think about tbh

  
  
  

  Why not make your collections where you

  consume

  the media draft instead?

  
  
  

  And handle access controls there

  I'm not sure I follow, but that's okay - this solution actually solves it for my case

  
  
  

  Do you mean like, rewrite the URL in the media propery on a page object for example?

•

  You have posts that are drafts -> use access controls here

  
  

  You have media that you don't want to thread through payloads access controls -> use the property from above

•

  Yeah, that just exposes all the media - it's not highly discoverable, but if someone could guess the URL, they could get the media. In our case, that's fine.

  Right, that's what disablePayloadAccessControl does

•

  Yeah this works - thanks!

  My pleasure

  Actually, there's one more question - this setting will make it use the bucket URL - is there a way to rewrite that to point to another URL? In our set up, we have a bucket, behind a cloudfront CDN. I'd like it to use the cloudfront URL, not the bucket URL.

  You can override it with the

  generateFileURL

  option

  super, thanks

  
  
  

  Where do I add disablePayloadAccessControl: true - it's not clear from the docs

•

  Payload build config upload options

•

  Like this?
• 

  zed0547last year

  Ah, no in the adapter config rather

  
  
  

  Iirc

  It seems to complain no matter where I put that:

  
  
  

  Am I using some out of date method to configure this maybe?
• 

  zed0547last year

  cloudStorage({
    collections: {
      'my-collection-slug': {
        adapter: theAdapterToUse,
        disablePayloadAccessControl: true
      },
    },
  }),

• 

  evisteronlast year

  Yeah, I'm not using cloudStorage - I guess I need to figure that out first

• 

  zed0547last year

  Try swapping out your collections.media for { ... } and put it in there

• 

  evisteronlast year

  hmm, that works

  
  
  

  so that can be a config object, good to know
