I have a script that is able to successfully publish my MXD to a service.  The only issue is when I publish the service all feature access (create, delete, query, sync, update) is enabled.  What I would like is only to have Query and Update enabled like shown in the screenshot below:

My code for that section is below,  I can paste the entire code but the problem is entirely with this section (when I comment it out everything publishes fine but with all the feature access operations allowed) 

    
    # Turn on feature access capabilities
    configProps = doc.getElementsByTagName('Info')[0]
    propArray = configProps.firstChild
    propSets = propArray.childNodes
    for propSet in propSets:
        keyValues = propSet.childNodes
        for keyValue in keyValues:
            if keyValue.tagName == 'Key':
                if keyValue.firstChild.data == "WebCapabilities":
                    keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "Query,Update,Uploads,Editing"

I think it is probably just a syntax issue but I am not sure.  

Has anyone done anything like this and if so what was your solution?

I found this page https://community.esri.com/thread/181211 which says that the proper index is [7] instead of [0] so I updated my code to this

    configProps = doc.getElementsByTagName('Info')[7]
    propArray = configProps.firstChild
    propSets = propArray.childNodes
    for propSet in propSets:
        keyValues = propSet.childNodes
        for keyValue in keyValues:
            if keyValue.tagName == 'Key':
                if keyValue.firstChild.data == "WebCapabilities":
                    keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "Query,Update,Editing"

Now the script does  not error out when it publishes but it is still publishing with CREATE and DELETE still enabled.
