User Data (object) Isolation on Instant Messaging

41 views Asked by At

Consider that I want to write an instant messaging application that user can send and receive files privately. I know, it's a good idea to store objects like images in Object Stores like Ceph or Minio, But how can I restrict access to files to the relevant users? Do I need check permission of any request to any file? If yes how can I integrate this authorization to Minio or Ceph. (Minio is preferred.)

One Minio setup comes with a single access/secret key. The multi-user or other permission has to be done from you application environment.

We have documented few scenario on Multi-tenancy for applications guide. Also most of our community hangs on slack channel, feel free to join us.

Hope it helps.
