This backend supports [state locking](/terraform/language/state/locking). Storing your state in a COS bucket requires the following permissions:
- `CreateTag`, `DeleteTag`, and `DescribeTags` on the tag key `tencentcloud-terraform-lock`
- `Put`, `Get`, and `Delete` files for the specified bucket's prefix
~> **Warning!** It is highly recommended that you enable [Object Versioning](https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/document/product/436/19883)
on the COS bucket to allow for state recovery in the case of accidental deletions and human error.
