    Update a Subset of Event Frames' Security Without Changing "Modified Date"

    Currently, there is not a way to update a subset of Event Frames' security in bulk, without changing the Event Frame's "Modified Date." For example, to add a new AF Identity with "read" permissions to a subset of Event Frames. Some customers use d...
