    quarantineAsset

    Performs admin quarantine actions on the corresponding asset. A POST request to the remediation/api/assets/{id}/quarantine endpoint with remediation_api scope is used to quarantine the asset to the administrator’s folder, with the following limitations:
    • Quarantine and restore processes are asynchronous—Response does not mean that Data Security successfully quarantined the asset; rather, the acknowledgment indicates that the request is accepted and quarantine process will be triggered.
    • Remediation support—Not all SaaS applications support admin quarantine, nor for all asset types.
