## Syntax {#syntax}

The [`mc anonymous list`](#command-mc.anonymous.list) retrieves all anonymous (i.e. unauthenticated or public) access policies for a bucket.

Buckets with anonymous policies allow clients to access the bucket contents and perform actions consistent with the specified policy without [authentication](/administration/identity-access-management/#minio-authentication-and-identity-management).

**EXAMPLE**

The following command lists all anonymous access policies for the `mydata` bucket on the `myminio` MinIO deployment:

```shell
mc anonymous list myminio/mydata
```

**SYNTAX**

The command has the following syntax:

```shell
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] ALIAS
```

- Brackets `[]` indicate optional parameters.
- Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
- Parameters separated using the pipe `|` operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

### Parameters {#parameters}

##### `ALIAS` {#mc.anonymous.list.ALIAS}

*mc-cmd*

*Required* The full path to the bucket or bucket prefix for which the command retrieves the anonymous bucket policies.

Specify the [alias](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias-set/#alias) of the MinIO or other S3-compatible service *and* the full path to the bucket or bucket prefix. For example:

```shell
mc anonymous list public play/mybucket
```

### Global Flags {#global-flags}

This command supports any of the [global flags](/reference/minio-mc/#minio-mc-global-options).

## Examples {#examples}

### List Anonymous Policies for Bucket {#list-anonymous-policies-for-bucket}

Use [`mc anonymous list`](#command-mc.anonymous.list) to list the anonymous policies for a bucket:

```shell
mc anonymous list ALIAS/PATH
```

- Replace [`ALIAS`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-anonymous-get/#mc.anonymous.get.ALIAS) with the [`alias`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias/#command-mc.alias) of a configured S3-compatible host.
- Replace [`PATH`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-anonymous-get/#mc.anonymous.get.ALIAS) with the destination bucket.

## Behavior {#behavior}

### S3 Compatibility {#s3-compatibility}

SILO is the supported server for PGSTY mcli; compatibility with upstream MinIO and other S3 services is [best effort](/reference/minio-mc/#command-mc).
