<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken"></a>

### Message BearerToken
BearerToken allows to attach signed Extended ACL rules to the request in
`RequestMetaHeader`. If container's Basic ACL rules allow, the attached rule
set will be checked instead of one attached to the container itself. Just
like [JWT](https://jwt.io), it has a limited lifetime and scope, hence can be
used in the similar use cases, like providing authorisation to externally
authenticated party.

BearerToken can be issued only by the container's owner and must be signed
using the key associated with the container's `OwnerID`.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| body | [BearerToken.Body](#neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken.Body) |  | Bearer Token body |
| signature | [neo.fs.v2.refs.Signature](#neo.fs.v2.refs.Signature) |  | Signature of BearerToken body |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken.Body"></a>

### Message BearerToken.Body
Bearer Token body structure contains Extended ACL table issued by the
container owner with additional information preventing token abuse.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| eacl_table | [EACLTable](#neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLTable) |  | Table of Extended ACL rules to use instead of the ones attached to the container. If it contains `container_id` field, bearer token is only valid for this specific container. Otherwise, any container of the same owner is allowed.

Deprecated: eACL tables are no longer relevant - `APEOverrides` should be used instead. |
| owner_id | [neo.fs.v2.refs.OwnerID](#neo.fs.v2.refs.OwnerID) |  | `OwnerID` defines to whom the token was issued. It must match the request originator's `OwnerID`. If empty, any token bearer will be accepted. |
| lifetime | [BearerToken.Body.TokenLifetime](#neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken.Body.TokenLifetime) |  | Token expiration and valid time period parameters |
| allow_impersonate | [bool](#bool) |  | AllowImpersonate flag to consider token signer as request owner. If this field is true extended ACL table in token body isn't processed. |
| ape_override | [BearerToken.Body.APEOverride](#neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken.Body.APEOverride) |  | APE override for the target. |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken.Body.APEOverride"></a>

### Message BearerToken.Body.APEOverride
APEOverride is the list of APE chains defined for a target.
These chains are meant to serve as overrides to the already defined (or even undefined)
APE chains for the target (see contract `Policy`).

The server-side processing of the bearer token with set APE overrides must verify if a client is permitted
to override chains for the target, preventing unauthorized access through the APE mechanism.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| target | [frostfs.v2.ape.ChainTarget](#frostfs.v2.ape.ChainTarget) |  | Target for which chains are applied. |
| chains | [frostfs.v2.ape.Chain](#frostfs.v2.ape.Chain) | repeated | The list of APE chains. |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.BearerToken.Body.TokenLifetime"></a>

### Message BearerToken.Body.TokenLifetime
Lifetime parameters of the token. Field names taken from
[rfc7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519).


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| exp | [uint64](#uint64) |  | Expiration Epoch |
| nbf | [uint64](#uint64) |  | Not valid before Epoch |
| iat | [uint64](#uint64) |  | Issued at Epoch |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLRecord"></a>

### Message EACLRecord
Describes a single eACL rule.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| operation | [Operation](#neo.fs.v2.acl.Operation) |  | NeoFS request Verb to match |
| action | [Action](#neo.fs.v2.acl.Action) |  | Rule execution result. Either allows or denies access if filters match. |
| filters | [EACLRecord.Filter](#neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLRecord.Filter) | repeated | List of filters to match and see if rule is applicable |
| targets | [EACLRecord.Target](#neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLRecord.Target) | repeated | List of target subjects to apply ACL rule to |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLRecord.Filter"></a>

### Message EACLRecord.Filter
Filter to check particular properties of the request or the object.

By default `key` field refers to the corresponding object's `Attribute`.
Some Object's header fields can also be accessed by adding `$Object:`
prefix to the name. Here is the list of fields available via this prefix:

* $Object:version \
  version
* $Object:objectID \
  object_id
* $Object:containerID \
  container_id
* $Object:ownerID \
  owner_id
* $Object:creationEpoch \
  creation_epoch
* $Object:payloadLength \
  payload_length
* $Object:payloadHash \
  payload_hash
* $Object:objectType \
  object_type
* $Object:homomorphicHash \
  homomorphic_hash

Please note, that if request or response does not have object's headers of
full object (Range, RangeHash, Search, Delete), it will not be possible to
filter by object header fields or user attributes. From the well-known list
only `$Object:objectID` and `$Object:containerID` will be available, as
it's possible to take that information from the requested address.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| header_type | [HeaderType](#neo.fs.v2.acl.HeaderType) |  | Define if Object or Request header will be used |
| match_type | [MatchType](#neo.fs.v2.acl.MatchType) |  | Match operation type |
| key | [string](#string) |  | Name of the Header to use |
| value | [string](#string) |  | Expected Header Value or pattern to match |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLRecord.Target"></a>

### Message EACLRecord.Target

keys to match.

| keys | [bytes](#bytes) | repeated | List of public keys to identify target subject |


<a name="neo.fs.v2.acl.EACLTable"></a>

### Message EACLTable
