Maximum
Operations per Hour
By default, policies can perform unlimited operations. The valid range of operations is
1 to 500,000,000.
Edit Click Edit to modify the policy properties.
Back Click Back to return to the Authorization Policy Configuration page.
The SKM starts keeping track of the number of operations performed by a user as soon as that user
makes a request to the server. Once the clock is running, the user has a one hour time period in which to
perform no more than the number of operations specified in the Maximum Operations per Hour field.
Should you change the limit for a particular policy, those changes are recognized immediately.
The following example illustrates the point: The rate limit for Key1 is 100 operations per hour.
• At 11:00 AM, User1 logs in and begins making requests using the Key1.
• At 11:30 AM, User1 has used 50 operations with Key1.
• At 11:31 AM, the administrator changes the rate limit for Key1 to 150 operations per hour.
