Deleting Lifecycle Rules

Functions

This operation deletes the lifecycle configuration of a bucket. After the lifecycle configuration of a bucket is deleted, OBS will not automatically delete objects in that bucket.

To perform this operation, you must have the PutLifecycleConfiguration permission. By default, only the bucket owner can perform this operation. The bucket owner can grant the permission to other users by configuring the bucket policy or user policy.

Authorization Information

To call this API, you must be the bucket owner or have the permission to delete the lifecycle configuration of a bucket. You are advised to use IAM or bucket policies for authorization. For details about OBS authorization methods, see Differences Between OBS Permissions Control Methods.

  • If you use IAM for authorization, you need to use either role/policy-based authorization or identity policy-based authorization and configure the required permissions:
    • If you use role/policy-based authorization (IAM v3 APIs in the old IAM version), you need to grant the obs:bucket:PutLifecycleConfiguration permission. For details, see Creating a Custom IAM Policy.
    • If you use identity policy-based authorization (IAM v5 APIs in the new IAM version), you need to grant the obs:bucket:putLifecycleConfiguration permission, as shown in the following table. For details, see Creating a Custom IAM Identity Policy.
