Locking a Course Website

If you wish to prevent further changes to a course website community, you can optionally lock the community from Admin > Manage Communities.

Accessing the Lock option from Admin > Manage Communities

This tool is only available from Admin > Manage Communities, not from the Manage Community sidebar. As such, only users with administrative access can lock a community. This prevents users who are administrators of a community (like faculty), but NOT administrative staff, from locking/unlocking course websites.

  • Navigate to Admin > Manage Communities.

  • Search for the course website you want to lock.

  • From the menu cog on the right hand side, click Lock.

  • After a course website is locked it will display with a lock beside the title.

  • You can unlock a course website at any time by following the same steps as above, but clicking unlock.
