Request Body

Property Name	Type	Description
authorizationRules	AuthorizationRule[]	An array of authorization rules.
autoDeleteOnIdle	String	Indicates whether an entity to be automatically deleted when it's idle for a certain time.
deadLetteringOnMessageExpiration	Boolean	Settable only at queue creation time. - Default: False. This field governs how Service Bus handles a message with an expired TTL. If true and a message expires, Service Bus moves the message from the queue into the queue’s dead-letter subqueue. If false, the message is permanently deleted from the queue.
defaultMessageTtl	XML Datetime	Based on whether dead lettering is enabled, if a message has been stored in the queue for more than the specified time, it's automatically moved to the dead-letter queue, or deleted. This value is overwritten by a TTL specified on the message if the message TTL is smaller than the TTL set on the queue. This value is immutable after the queue has been created: - Range: 1 second – 14 days. - Default: 14 days.
duplicateDetectionHistoryTimeWindow	Time Span	A property that specifies the time span during which Service Bus detects message duplication. - Range: 1 second–7 days. - Default: 10 minutes.
enableBatchedOperations	Boolean	Indicate whether you want batched operations to be enabled or not.
forwardDeadLetteredMessagesTo	String	Specify where you want the dead-lettered messages to be forwarded.
forwardTo	String	Specify where you want the messages to be forwarded.
lockDuration	XML Datetime	This setting determines the amount of time in seconds for which a message should be locked for processing by a receiver. After this period, the message is unlocked and available for consumption by the next receiver. Settable only at queue creation time: - Range: 0–5 min. 0 means that the message isn't locked. - Default: 30 seconds.
maxDeliveryCount	Unsigned Integer	The maximum number of times Service Bus tries to deliver a message before being dead-lettered or discarded. The default is 10.
maxSizeInMegabytes	Unsigned Integer	The maximum size in mega bytes.
status	EntityStatus	Status of the entity.

These properties can't be updated: requireSession, requiresDuplicateDetection, enablePartitioning, and name.
