Retention mode is a property of a namespace that affects which operations are allowed on objects under retention. A namespace can be in either of two retention modes:
•In compliance mode, objects that are under retention cannot be deleted through any mechanism. Additionally, the duration of a retention class cannot be shortened, and retention classes cannot be deleted.
•In enterprise mode, users and applications can delete objects under retention if they have specific permission to do so. This is called privileged delete.
Also in enterprise mode, the duration of a retention class can be shortened, and retention classes can be deleted.
