An object can have a retention setting ranging from no
retention, where the object can be deleted at anytime, to full retention,
where the object can never be deleted. You can increase but not decrease
the retention setting for an object.
Before you begin
To modify the retention setting of an object, you must first
modify the retention permission.

for object.
