Lock/Unlock ADT

To avoid mis-operations on the ADT data, ADT can be locked/unlocked by its creator or other users with corresponding privilege.

For each ADT table, the creator of ADT can turn on the Locking function and set a locking mode (With Password/Without Password). A locked ADT is in View-Only mode and can be edited after entering the password. Lock annotation can be added to provide detailed lock information.

Note: The creator and users with the Shared Resource and File Management privilege can lock an ADT.

To lock an ADT, follow the steps below:

1. Select the target ADT in ADT Manager, then click Lock Settings from the drop-down menu of the ADT.
   

   Note: You can also click the icon to define the lock settings for ADT.

2. From the Lock Settings dialog, turn on the Lock function, then define the following settings:
   Select a Lock mode:

• With Password (default): Enter and confirm password in the corresponding field. 
  Users with authorization can open or edit ADT after entering the correct password. Domain admin can operate on a locked ADT without entering a password.   

• Without Password: Other users cannot open the ADT and must contact its creator to resolve this issue.

3. Type Lock Annotation in the Lock Annotation field to provide lock information for other users.
4. Click OK to finish lock settings of ADT.
