Configuring a WORM Policy

Prerequisites

The WORM clock has been initialized.

Procedure

1. Choose Resources > Resources > Dtree.
2. Select a desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
3. Select an owning namespace and click the name of a desired dtree. The dtree details page is displayed. Click the WORM tab.
4. Click Configure.

   The Configure WORM Policy page is displayed.

5. Select a policy mode. Possible options are:
   • Enterprise: used by enterprises to implement internal control. The retention period and permissions of common users and privileged users are set to ensure secure data access security and prevent data tampering, protecting archived files and data of enterprises. Common users cannot modify, rename, or delete files within the retention period. Privileged users (system administrators) cannot modify or rename files within the retention period, but they can use the privilege to delete files. Common users and system administrators cannot modify or rename files whose retention period expires, but can read or delete the files.

     Table 1 describes the related parameters.
