Controlling which client operations are permitted

You can select the Prevent Client Modification grid option to deny specific HTTP client operations.

Before you begin

Prevent Client Modification is a system wide setting. When the Prevent Client Modification option is selected, 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.

Select Configuration > Grid Options.
In the Network Options section, select the Prevent Client Modification check box.
Click Save.
