Advanced
The Advanced settings section provides administrators with access to powerful, low-frequency administrative functions. These tools are intended for critical system-level tasks and should be used with a clear understanding of their impact. This area centralizes configurations for ownership, security, and data management.
Key Functions#
This section consolidates several critical administrative capabilities that were previously located in what was known as the "danger zone." Each function is designed to give you precise control over the core aspects of your Blocklet Service instance.
Ownership Transfer
Allows the current owner to transfer complete control and ownership of the service to another DID. This is a permanent action that reassigns all administrative privileges.
Vault Configuration
Manage the configuration of the underlying data vault. This may include settings related to data storage, encryption, and access policies for sensitive information.
DID Rotation
Facilitates the process of rotating the Decentralized Identifier (DID) associated with the service. This is a critical security practice to mitigate risks associated with key compromise.
Cache Management
Provides tools to clear or purge system caches. This is useful for ensuring configuration changes are applied immediately or for resolving potential data consistency issues.
Deletion Protection
A safety feature that, when enabled, prevents the accidental or unauthorized deletion of the entire service instance. It acts as a safeguard against irreversible data loss.
Summary#
The Advanced settings panel is a vital tool for administrators responsible for the long-term health and security of the Blocklet Service. It offers direct control over fundamental aspects of the service's identity, data, and lifecycle. Due to the critical nature of these functions, it is imperative to exercise caution and ensure you have a complete understanding of the consequences before making any changes.
