As an administrator, you can lock your cluster to prevent accidental deletion of data. The lock overrides any user permissions set using Azure Data Explorer role-based access control.
In the Azure portal, you can set Delete or Read-only locks that prevent either deletions or modifications. The following table describes the permissions that each lock provides:
| Lock level | Description |
|---|---|
| Delete | Authorized users can read and modify a cluster, but they can't delete it. |
| Read-only | Authorized users can read a cluster, but they can't delete or update it. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions that the Reader role provides. |
This article describes how to lock and unlock your cluster using the Azure portal. For more information about locking Azure resources using the portal, see Lock your resources to protect your infrastructure. For information about how to lock your cluster programmatically, see Management Locks - Create Or Update At Resource Level.
Sign in to the Azure portal.
Go to your Azure Data Explorer cluster.
In the left-hand menu, under Settings, select Locks.
Select Add.
Give the lock a name and lock level. Optionally, you can add notes that describe the lock.
To delete a lock, in the row where the lock appears, select the Delete button.
