**rules** object[] required  
Currently configured lifecycle rules for the bucket. Empty array if no rules are configured.

Array [

**id** string required  
Unique identifier for the rule (max 255 chars). Use a descriptive name like `archive-old-logs` or `expire-temp-uploads`.

**enabled** boolean required  
Whether the rule is currently active. Set to `false` to temporarily disable a rule without deleting it. When disabled, objects will not be transitioned or expired by this rule.

**expiration** object  
Configuration for automatic object deletion (expiration).

When the expiration condition is met, objects matching this rule are **permanently deleted**.

## Specify ONE Condition (Not Both)

- `days`: Delete objects N days after their creation date
- `date`: Delete all matching objects on a specific date

**days** integer  
Number of days after object creation when the object will be deleted.

The deletion happens at midnight UTC on the calculated expiration date.

**date** date-time  
Specific date (at midnight UTC) when all matching objects will be deleted, regardless of when they were created.

**transitions** object[]  
List of storage class transitions. Objects will transition through each defined step.

Array [

**days** integer  
Number of days after object creation when the transition occurs.

**date** date-time  
Specific date (at midnight UTC) when all matching objects will be transitioned, regardless of when they were created.

**storage_class** StorageClass required  
Storage class for the bucket. Default is `STANDARD`.

**filter** object  
Optional scope for a lifecycle rule. When unset, the rule applies to every object in the bucket.

**prefix** string  
Only apply this rule to objects whose keys start with the given prefix.

#### Authorization: X-Tigris-Signature

````
name: X-Tigris-Signature  
type: apiKey  
in: header  
description: HMAC-SHA256 of the canonical request signed using the signing key.
To create the signature, concatenate the HTTP method, URL, timestamp, and nonce with a newline character in between.
Then, calculate the HMAC-SHA256 of the concatenated string using the signing key. Example:

Create the `canonical_request` as:
```
POST
https://mgmt.storage.dev/provider/your-provider-id/orgs/user-org-id/provision
1731703213870
f8d133cb-5a42-47b1-9ef2-874bb55bab72
```
Then, calculate HMAC-SHA256 of the canonical request using the signing key as:
```
Signature = hex(sha256sign(canonical_request, "signing_key"))
```
