Hello,
I was wondering if we could change the Global Policy to allow the Master Account Files to be downloaded by other players (friends and strangers)?
Is it something we need to do on the title level (in Settings), or via API call when uploading the file? I couldn't find how to set the policy json for the files anywhere...
I've read on another question that the UI for it was still in progress, but that might have been for Objects, I'm not sure.
Thanks!
Please add following code to your title's Global Title Policy:
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "pfrn:data--*!*/Profile/Files/FILENAME",
"Principal": { "ChildOf": { "EntityType": "namespace", "EntityId": NAMESPACEID} },
"Comment": "Allow all namespace members to read files",
"Action": "Read"
}
You can edit your policy on: GameManager-> Settings-> API/ Entity Global title Policy
also:
https://api.playfab.com/documentation/entity/method/GetGlobalPolicy
https://api.playfab.com/documentation/entity/method/SetGlobalPolicy
We have not updated few changes we have made to the documents yet, we will post an update once it gets released.
Hi, I've tried the suggested fix above without success.
I also tried to set "Principal" to "*"... I still get "NotAuthorized" when querying files for friends. Adding the "master_player_account" flag after "pfrn:data--" doesn't work on the Global Setting, as it refuses to save the policy.
Setting the Policy manually on the target user's dashboard works, but it's obviously not a viable solution.

Since setting the Global Policy hasn't worked so far, I have found a workaround, by using SetProfilePolicy.
On entrance of our game, I'm calling it to set the master account file to be accessible to everyone.
It looks like:
PlayFabEntityAPI.SetProfilePolicy(new SetEntityProfilePolicyRequest()
{
Entity = new EntityKey()
{
Id = playFabID,
Type = EntityTypes.master_player_account
},
Statements = new List<EntityPermissionStatement>()
{
new EntityPermissionStatement()
{
Action = "Read",
Effect = EffectType.Allow,
Resource = string.Format("pfrn:data--master_player_account!{0}/Profile/Files/{1}", playFabID, filename),
Condition = null,
Principal = "*"
}
}
}, (response) =>
{
// callback success
}, (error) =>
{
// callback error
});
I'm surrounding the call to make sure it's only called once, so that'll do until the Global Policy actually works.
Thanks for sharing the workaround, on the Global Policy side, at the moment, you can only use the title_player_account at the title global policy level.
