+<p>With Usergrid, you can store and retrieve files and assets that hold
+data objects such as images, video, and audio content.</p>
+<p>Usergrid manages these objects as Asset entities. Optionally, you can
+use Folder entities to organize related assets.</p>

+<h2>Uploading assets<a class="headerlink" href="#id1" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Assets can be any file type and can be attached to any entity. When an
+asset is uploaded, Usergrid will automatically detect the file metadata
+for the asset and save it in the associated entity as a
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">file-metadata</span></code> property. Only 1 asset can be attached to an entity.</p>
+<p>To attach an asset to an entity, do the following:</p>

- <p>Apache Usergrid is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.</p>

-<h1 id="authenticating-users-and-application-clients">Authenticating users and application clients</h1>
-<p>To protect your Apache Usergrid application data, one of the steps you’ll take is to authenticate your app’s users. By ensuring that they are who they say they are, you can help ensure that your application’s data is available in secure ways. After you’ve created permission rules that define access to your application and have associated these rules with users, you’ll want to add code that authenticates your user, as described in this topic.</p>
-<p><strong>Note: </strong>You manage access to your application’s data by creating permission rules that govern which users can do what. Users authenticated as Application User have access according to these rules. For more about managing permissions, see <a href="/managing-access-defining-permission-rules">Managing access by defining permission rules</a>.</p>
-<h2 id="authentication-levels">Authentication levels</h2>
-<p>Apache Usergrid supports four levels of authentication, but only one of them is used when checking a registered user’s permissions. The other three levels are useful for authenticating other web applications that want to access to your Apache Usergrid application. Because the scope of access that the other authentication levels provide is so broad (and as a result, so powerful), it’s a bad practice to use them from a mobile app. Instead, they’re better suited to other client apps, such as web applications.</p>
-<p>The following table describes each of the authentication levels. Note that only one of these is configurable using the admin portal. The others are independent of Application User level access, which is governed by permission rules you define (usually with the admin portal). In contrast, the level of acces provided by the others is only as described in the notes.</p>

-<p>Authentication at this level is useful in a | server-side application (not a mobile app) that needs access to resources through the Apache Usergrid API.</p>
-<p>Imagine that you created a web site that lists every hiking trail in the Rocky Mountains. Anyone can go to the web site and view the content. However, you don’t want anyone to have access to the App Services API, where all the data is stored. But you do want to give your web server access so that it can generate the pages to serve to the website’s visitors.</p>

-<h3 id="using-an-access-token">Using an access token</h3>
-<p>When you obtain an access token, you must provide it with every subsequent API call that you make. There are two ways to provide your access token.</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p>You can add the token to the API query string:<br><br> https://api.usergrid.com/{org-name}/{app-name}/users?access_token={access_token}</p></li>
-<li><p>You can include the token in an HTTP authorization header:<br><br> Authorization: Bearer {access_token}</p></li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Note:</strong> The App services documentation assumes you are providing a valid access token with every API call whether or not it is shown explicitly in the examples. Unless the documentation specifically says that you can access an API endpoint without an access token, you should assume that you must provide it. One application that does not require an access token is the sandbox application. The Guest role has been given full permissions (/** for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE) for this application. This eliminates the need for a token when making application level calls to the sandbox app. For further information on specifying permissions, see <a href="/managing-access-defining-permission-rules">Managing access by defining permission rules</a>.</p>
-<h3 id="authenticating-asapplication-user">Authenticating as Application User</h3>
-<p>Using the username and password values specified when the user entity was created, your app can connect to the Apache Usergrid application endpoint to request an access token. (Note that it’s also possible to use the user’s email address in place of the username.) Here is an example in cURL format of a request for application user access:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/my-org/my-app/token" -d '{"grant_type":"password","username":"john.doe","password":"testpw"}'</code></pre>
-<p>The results include the access token needed to make subsequent API requests on behalf of the application user:</p>
-<pre><code>{
-"access_token": "5wuGd-lcEeCUBwBQVsAACA:F8zeMOlcEeCUBwBQVsAACA:YXU6AAABMq0hdy4Lh0ewmmnOWOR-DaepCrpWx9oPmw",
-"expires_in": 3600,
-"user": {
-...
-}
-}
- </code></pre>
-<h3 id="authenticating-asapplication">Authenticating as Application</h3>
-<p>Using your app’s client id and client secret values, your app can connect to the Apache Usergrid application endpoint to request an access token. Here is an example in cURL format of a request for application access:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/my-org/my-app/token" -d '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id":"YXB7NAD7EM0MEeJ989xIxPRxEkQ","client_secret":"YXB7NAUtV9krhhMr8YCw0QbOZH2pxEf"}'</code></pre>
-<p>The results include the access token needed to make subsequent API requests on behalf of the application:</p>
-<pre><code>{
-"access_token": "F8zeMOlcEeCUBwBQVsAACA:YXA6AAABMq0d4Mep_UgbZA0-sOJRe5yWlkq7JrDCkA",

See <a href="#safe_mobile">Safe mobile access</a> for additional considerations in keeping access to your app and its data secure.</p>
-<h3 id="authenticating-asadmin-user">Authenticating as Admin User</h3>
-<p>If you do require admin user access, your app can connect to the App Services management endpoint to request an access token. Your app supplies the username and password of an admin user in the request. Here is an example in cURL format of a request for admin user access:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/management/token" -d '{"grant_type":"password","username":"testadmin","password":"testadminpw"}'</code></pre>
-<p>The results include the access token needed to make subsequent API requests on behalf of the admin user:</p>

-<h3 id="authenticating-asorganization">Authenticating as Organization</h3>
-<p>If you do require organization level access, your app can connect to the Apache Usergrid management endpoint to request an access token. Access to an organization requires the client id and client secret credentials. Here is an example in cURL format of a request for organization access:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/management/token" -d '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id":"YXB7NAD7EM0MEeJ989xIxPRxEkQ","client_secret":"YXB7NAUtV9krhhMr8YCw0QbOZH2pxEf"}'</code></pre>
-<p>The results include the access token needed to make subsequent API requests to the organization:</p>
-<pre><code>{
-"access_token": "gAuFEOlXEeCfRgBQVsAACA:b3U6AAABMqz-Cn0wtDxxkxmQLgZvTMubcP20FulCZQ",
-"expires_in": 3600,
-"organization": {

-}
-}
- </code></pre>
-<p><strong>Warning:</strong> You should never authenticate this way from a client-side app such as a mobile app. A hacker could analyze your app and extract the credentials for malicious use even if those credentials are compiled and in binary format. See <a href="#safe_mobile">Safe mobile access</a> for additional considerations in keeping access to your app and its data secure.</p>
-<h2 id="authentication-token-time-to-live">Authentication token time to live</h2>
-<p>An access token has a “time-to-live”, which is the maximum time that the access token will be valid for use within the application, specified in milliseconds. By default, all tokens have a system-defined time-to-live of 24 hours.</p>
-<h3 id="changing-the-default-time-to-live">Changing the default time-to-live</h3>
-<p>You can change the default time-to-live for all application tokens by updating the Application entity’s accesstokenttl property. </p>
-<p>For example, the following updates an application entity to have a default time-to-live value of 1800000 miliseconds (30 minutes) for all tokens:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X PUT -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/my-org/my-app" -d '{"accesstokenttl":"1800000"}'</code></pre>
-<h3 id="changing-token-time-to-live">Changing token time-to-live</h3>
-<p>When you request an access token, you can override its time-to-live by including a ttl parameter in the request.</p>
-<p>The ttl value must be equal to or less than the value of the accesstokenttl property. If you specify a ttl value greater than the value of accesstokenttl, an error message is returned that indicates the maximum time to live value that can be specified.</p>
-<p><strong>Note: </strong>If you set ttl=0, the token will never expire. This can pose a security risk and should be used with caution.</p>
-<p>For example, the following sets a time to live value of 1800000 miliseconds (30 minutes) for an admin user:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/management/token?ttl=1800000" -d '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id":"YXB7NAD7EM0MEeJ989xIxPRxEkQ","client_secret":"YXB7NAUtV9krhhMr8YCw0QbOZH2pxEf"}'</code></pre>
-<p>The following sets the same time to live value for an application user.</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.usergrid.com/my-org/my-app/token?ttl=1800000" -d '{"grant_type":"password","username":"testadmin","password":"testadminpw"}'</code></pre>
-<h2 id="revoking-authentication-tokens">Revoking authentication tokens</h2>
-<p>Under certain circumstances, you may need to explicitly revoke a user’s access token, such as when a user logs out. To revoke a specific authentication token, send the following <code>PUT</code> request:</p>
-<pre><code>curl -X PUT https://api.usergrid.com/<org_name>/<app_name>/users/<user_uuid_or_username>/revoketokens?token="<token>"</code></pre>
-<p>If the token is successfully revoked, you will receive the following response from the API:</p>
-<pre><code>{
- "action" : "revoked user token",
- "timestamp" : 1382050891455,
- "duration" : 24
-}</code></pre>
-<h2 id="safe-mobile-access">Safe mobile access</h2>
-<p>For mobile access, it is recommended that you connect as an application user with configured access control policies. Mobile applications are inherently untrusted because they can be easily examined and even decompiled.</p>
-<p>Any credentials stored in a mobile app should be considered secure only to the Application User level. This means that if you don’t want the user to be able to access or delete data in your Apache Usergrid application, you need to make sure that you don’t enable that capability through roles or permissions. Because most web applications talk to the database using some elevated level of permissions, such as root, it’s generally a good idea for mobile applications to connect with a more restricted set of permissions. For more information on restricting access through permission rules, see <a href="/managing-access-defining-permission-rules">Managing access by defining permission rules</a>.</p>

- <p>Apache Usergrid is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.</p>
