Modify Container Access Controls (DRM)

This example demonstrates how to modify access rules for an existing Locktera container using the Locktera API. Although container contents are immutable and cannot be changed after encoding, access permissions can be updated independently through dynamic access control policies.

In this tutorial, you will retrieve the current access rules for a container and update them using the DRM endpoint. This allows you to grant or revoke access, apply time-based restrictions, or modify other access controls without altering the container itself.
