Presigned URL’s for profile photos

English Forum Developers & API Platform News

tl;dr:

  • applicable only to customers with Enterprise Key Management
  • profile photo URL’s will become presigned links with temporary
    access
  • after some period of time (hours) the links will expire
  • requesting the resource again will issue a new link
  • this enables us to support encrypted profile photos

Hey folks,

Part of our support for customers with Enterprise Key Management means
there will be a change to the URL’s exposed for profile photos.

Current Behavior

  • Profile photos are static URL’s that never expire, until a user
    uploads a new photo or deletes their existing photo

New Behavior

(applicable only to customers with Enterprise Key Management)

  • Profile photo URL’s are ephemeral and will expire some number of
    hours after being issued
  • (users changing photos will continue to impact links the same way as
    before)

Impact

  • You won’t be able to cache profile photos any more, and should
    instead use the ephemeral links immediately after requesting them
    (this matches the current behavior of the Attachments resource)

Timeline

  • announcement: 2022-08-30 (today)
  • general availability:
    • we have not decided on a final date, and are using feedback from
      the developer community to guide this
    • that said, we are aiming for 2022-10-12, at the absolute latest

Yours in Developer Relations,
Sasha, on behalf of the Asana API Team
