You can set the Prevent Client Modify option to Enabled to override the permissions defined for HTTP profiles and to deny specific HTTP client operations.

Before you begin

You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
To perform this task, you need specific access permissions. For details, see information about controlling system access with administration user accounts and groups.

About this task

When the Prevent Client Modify option is enabled, the following requests are denied:

S3 REST API
- Delete Bucket requests
- Any requests to modify an existing object's data, user-defined metadata, or S3 object tagging
  Note: This setting does not apply to buckets with versioning enabled. Versioning already prevents modifications to object data, user-defined metadata, and object tagging.
Swift REST API
- Delete Container requests
- Requests to modify any existing object. For example, the following operations are denied: Put Overwrite, Delete, Metadata Update, and so on.

Prevent Client Modify is a system wide setting.

Steps

Select Configuration > Grid Options.
From the Grid Options menu, select Configuration.
Change Prevent Client Modify to Enabled.
Click Apply Changes.
