Contributors

What you'll need
  • You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.

  • You must have specific access permissions.

About this task

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.

Steps
  1. Select Configuration > System Settings > Grid Options.

  2. In the Network Options section, select the Prevent Client Modification check box.
