Visibility

Flystorage generalised over ACLs and permissions using visibility. The default provided Visibility enum specifies public and private visibility, which is respected by all implemented adapters.

The API does accepts a string input for visibility, allowing you to create more specialised visibility handling strategies if you need it.

What is public and private?

Public and private visibility is different depending on which adapter you use. For the local filesystem, public files are readable by webserver whereas private files are not. For AWS S3, public files can be read using public URLs whereas private files require a temporary URL to be downloaded by a browser or HTTP client.
