Lock Assemblies

With the proper permissions, you can lock assemblies at various levels.

eCTD and Standard Locks

In addition to locking folders, you can create eCTD and standard locks.

An eCTD lock prevents you from changing the folder structure and metadata of an assembly. You can create new leaf elements, but you must use the Create eCTD wizard to add, move, and delete folders. In addition, you must use the wizard to change folder metadata. All changes must be made by either unlocking the assembly or using the Create eCTD wizard. This prevents accidental or unauthorized changes that would cause issues with eCTD publishing, but still enables document assignment and leaf manipulation.

A standard lock prevents most changes to the assembly, including changes to folders, leaf elements, documents, and publishing elements. However, you may still change document binding; binding must be locked separately.

Note: Only an administrator or the owner of the assembly can unlock an eCTD lock.

Lock Volume Ranges

A volume lock defines the beginning and ending points of a volume.

You can think of this as bookends for a volume. The beginning and ending points of the volume are locked in place, but the contents in the middle can be altered.

When a volume is locked, bypasses it when you volumize an assembly range that includes the locked volume.

An assembly must be refreshed when locking or unlocking volumes for a "non-first" life cycle sequence assembly in order to display the assembly correctly.
