You can disable IP filtering on a Cloud Storage bucket when you want to
remove network-level access restrictions or troubleshoot connectivity issues.
When IP filtering is disabled, the bucket allows requests from any IP address,
subject to Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions.

For background information, see [Bucket IP filtering](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/ip-filtering-overview.md.txt).

## Required roles

To get the required permissions for disabling bucket IP filtering, ask your administrator to grant you the Storage Admin (`roles/storage.admin`)
role on the bucket. This role contains the permissions required to disable bucket IP filtering.

To see the exact permissions that are required, expand the
**Required permissions** section:

#### Required permissions

- `storage.buckets.update`
- `storage.buckets.setIpFilter`

You can also get these permissions with [custom roles](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-custom-roles.md.txt). You might be able to get these permissions with other predefined roles as well. To see which roles are associated with which permissions,
refer to [IAM roles for Cloud Storage](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles).

For instructions about granting roles on buckets, see
[Set and manage IAM policies on buckets](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/using-iam-permissions.md.txt).

## Disable bucket IP filtering rules

### Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Storage **Buckets** page.

   [Go to Buckets](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser)
2. In the list of buckets, click the name of the bucket you want to update.

3. On the **Bucket details** page, click the **Configuration** tab.

4. In the **Permissions** section, navigate to **IP filtering** . Then, click **Edit IP filtering configuration**.

   The **IP filtering** page appears with a message that indicates that IP filtering is enabled for this bucket.
5. On the **IP filtering** page, click **Disable**.

6. To confirm that you want to disable IP filtering, type `Disable` in the **Disable** field.

7. Click **Disable**.

   A notification message confirms the change. A message also appears on the page indicating that IP filtering is disabled.

### gcloud

1. Verify that you have the Google Cloud CLI version 526.0.0 or later installed:

       gcloud version | head -n1

2. If you have an earlier gcloud CLI version installed, update the version:

       gcloud components update --version=526.0.0

3. To disable bucket IP filtering, run the [`gcloud storage
   buckets update`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/storage/buckets/update) command in your development environment:

   ```
   gcloud storage buckets update gs://BUCKET_NAME --clear-ip-filter
   ```

   Where:

   `BUCKET_NAME` is the name of your bucket. For example, `my-bucket`.

### JSON API

1. Have gcloud CLI [installed and initialized](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install), which lets
   you generate an access token for the `Authorization` header.

2. Create a JSON file that contains the settings for the bucket, which
   must include the `mode` of IP filter configuration. Set the `mode`
   field to `Disabled`.

   <br />

   ```json
   {
       "ipFilter": {
         "mode": "Disabled",
         "publicNetworkSource": null,
         "vpcNetworkSources": []
         }
     }
     
   ```

   <br />

3. Use [`cURL`](http://curl.haxx.se/) to call the [JSON API](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api.md.txt) with a [PATCH bucket](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/patch.md.txt) request:

   ```
   curl -X PATCH --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME?project=PROJECT_ID"
   ```

   Where:
   - `JSON_FILE_NAME` is the name of the JSON file that contains the settings for the bucket.
   - `BUCKET_NAME` is the name of your bucket.
   - `PROJECT_ID` is the ID of the project with which your bucket is associated. For example, `my-project`.
