Lock or Unlock an Item

Prev Next

The Lock and Unlock functions allow Agenda Managers and Admins to prevent general users from making modifications within the system. Once an item is locked, it cannot be modified unless an Agenda Manager or Admin unlocks it. This helps ensure that materials that have been finalized cannot be changed.

Important Notes

  • Users must be an Agenda Manager or a higher role to have Lock/Unlock permissions.

  • Locking an item locks not only the item but also its Workflow. It is recommended that items are left unlocked until they have reached the final stage of their Workflow, with full approval completed
