# Configuring Compliance Lock

You can enable Compliance lock or Indelible compliance lock in Commvault using the following procedure.

## Before You Begin

To view and enable the Indelible compliance lock option, you must add the showIndelibleComplianceLock additional setting.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Storage > Cloud.

   The Cloud page appears.

2. Click the cloud storage for which you want to configure WORM storage mode.

   The cloud storage page appears.

3. On the Configuration tab, in the Immutability section, move the Compliance lock toggle key to the right.

   The Do you want to enable Compliance lock? dialog box appears.

4. (Optional) To permanently prevent the lock from being disabled, even by Commvault Support, select the Indelible compliance lock check box.

5. Select the option to confirm your agreement. If you selected Indelible compliance lock, type `Enable indelible compliance lock` in the confirmation box.

6. Click YES.
