Troubleshooting Retention Rules

Identify and address common issues that can occur while working with Object Storage retention rules on Compute Cloud@Customer.

Unable to Create a Retention Rule

If creating a retention rule fails, the most likely cause is missing or incomplete IAM permissions. Rule creation requires:

  • User permissions that let you access the bucket and manage the objects in those buckets.

  • Minimally, BUCKET_UPDATE and RETENTION_RULE_MANAGE permissions.

  • Minimally, BUCKET_UPDATE and RETENTION_RULE_MANAGE permissions.

Unable to Lock a Retention Rule

If locking a retention rule fails, the most likely cause is missing or incomplete IAM permissions. Minimally, BUCKET_UPDATE, RETENTION_RULE_MANAGE, and RETENTION_RULE_LOCK permissions are required to lock retention rules.

Unable to Delete a Retention Rule

You can't delete a time-bound retention rule that's locked. When a retention rule is locked, the rule can only be deleted by deleting the bucket. A bucket must be empty before it can be deleted.

If deleting an indefinite retention rule fails, the most likely cause is missing or incomplete IAM permissions. Rule deletion requires:

  • User permissions that let you access the bucket and manage the objects in those buckets.

  • Minimally, BUCKET_UPDATE and RETENTION_RULE_MANAGE permissions.
