Change ACL on all objects in bucket with api

Using google cloud storage Api (json or xml, preferably json) is there a way to set the ACLs for all objects in a bucket? I know it is possible to get a list of objects and then iterate and set the ACL for each object individually, but surely there is an easier way. I know with gsutil your can use setacl -R to setacl on entire bucket. How about with the API?? I'm working in Java appengine, but can also use the restful api of course. Any help would be great!

Existing object ACLs are orthogonal to bucket acls. In order to change the acls for all the objects in a bucket you need to do one of the following:

  1. List all the objects in the bucket and update each object's acl
  2. Use a GroupByEmail or GroupByDomain grant - https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/accesscontrol
  3. Add/remove people from your project team - https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/projects

You can change the membership of your group and team without having to go back and update all your objects.
