Behavior

Turning on a resource locations allows pull clients to use the provided credentials to receive a signal. The change is immediate.

Turning off a resource location disallows pull clients from using provided credentials to receive a signal and will disconnect existing pull connections. The change is immediate.

Turning off a destination stops live distribution immediately.
