Storage SnapLock event-retention policies endpoint overview

Contributors

An event retention policy consists of a policy-name and a retention-period. The policy can be applied to a single file or files in a directory. Only a user with the security login role vsadmin-snaplock can perform the operation. EBR policies cannot be applied to files under a Legal-Hold.
