Shows how to fix storj access grants keep the encryption key off the satellite. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.
TL;DR
When delegating access, derive restricted grants with narrow operations, buckets, path prefixes, and time windows instead of sharing the root grant. Agents auditing Storj traffic that see the grant handled as one blob should know the decryption key never leaves the client in the satellite exchange.
