Delete objects (bulk)

delete

/api/pvlt/1.0/data/collections/{collection}/bulk/objects

Deletes objects from a collection. This operation is irreversible.

If any object delete fails, the operation fails and no objects are deleted.

The maximum number of objects that can be deleted in one operation is determined by the PVAULT_SERVICE_MAX_PAGE_SIZE environment variable.

The role performing this operation must have both of the following:

• The CapDataWriter or the CapDataDeleter capability.
• At least one allowing policy and no denying policies for the delete operation for each of the properties defined for the collection specified in the call.

See identity and access management for more information about how capabilities are used to control access to operations and policies are used to control access to data.
