When working with Supabase Storage, you might encounter an AccessDenied error. This error typically manifests when attempting to access a storage resource, such as a bucket or file, without the necessary permissions. The error message usually indicates that the request was denied due to insufficient access rights.
The AccessDenied error is a security measure to prevent unauthorized access to your storage resources. It occurs when the access policies defined for a storage bucket do not grant the necessary permissions to the user or role attempting the operation. Supabase Storage uses a policy-based access control system, which means permissions are managed through policies that specify who can access what resources and under what conditions.
Access policies in Supabase are written in SQL and are applied to storage buckets to control access. These policies determine which users or roles can perform actions such as reading, writing, or deleting files within a bucket. For more information on writing policies, refer to the Supabase Row Level Security documentation.
To resolve the AccessDenied error, you need to review and update the access policies for the affected storage bucket. Follow these steps:
AccessDenied error.CREATE POLICY "Allow public read access" ON storage.objects
FOR SELECT
USING (bucket_id = 'your_bucket_name');
AccessDenied error is resolved.For more detailed guidance on managing access policies in Supabase Storage, refer to the following resources:
