Managing pipelines

Lock operations

Pipeline Owners can lock individual operations and Join stages to prevent Editors from modifying their configuration, or to reduce the chances of an accidental edit by an Owner.


About locking

When an operation or Join stage is locked, anyone with access to the pipeline can click through to view its configuration, but the parameters will not be editable. When an item is locked, an overlay appears over the editable area, together with a label stating that it is ‘Locked for editing’.

Only an Owner can lock or unlock: they will be presented with a button to ‘Prevent edits’ or ‘Unlock to edit’.
