Managing Object Lock

ECS S3 Object Lock allows you to manage object retention through retention periods and legal holds.

  • Through retention period, you can specify a period during which an object remains locked. During the specified period, the object is WORM-protected, that is, the object cannot be overwritten or deleted.
  • Legal hold provides the same protection similar to retention period. However, legal hold is independent from retention period and it does not have an expiration date. Legal hold can be remained in objects until you explicitly remove it.

Retention period and legal hold can be specified in objects by any user who has the appropriate Object Lock permissions. For the list of supported Object Lock condition keys and permissions, see ECS S3 Object Lock condition keys and ECS S3 Object Lock permissions.
