Lock/Unlock Files and Folders

Users can view and edit file and directory locks by clicking on the ‘Locks’ link in the Info page for the file or directory.

The Locks page allows users to:

Create an exclusive lock on the directory entry, allowing only the lock creator to edit the directory entry’s contents.

 Directories only: Create an exclusive, recursive lock on the directory, locking the directory and everything it contains.

View and remove (delete) existing locks.

Delete a lock by clicking on its associated delete icon. 

Clicking the icon, under the Lock heading, results in:

An exclusive lock being created on a file; or…

An exclusive lock being created on directory and all of its children.

A green or red locked icon replacing the unlocked icon.

  • Green indicates a simple lock that can be undone by clicking on the icon.
  • Red indicates that the lock is owned by another user, or is generally too complex to be undone by simply clicking on the icon.  Such locks must be reviewed via the details page.
