App Lock

Locking an application prevents all users from modifying its configuration, including editing worksheets, editing workflows, exporting, copying, deleting, and other configuration-related operations. This helps protect application intellectual property and enables centralized maintenance and management.

  • Only the app owner can lock an application.
  • Imported applications, distributed applications, and applications installed from the marketplace cannot be locked.
  • When an application is locked, app admins and developers can enter the lock password to unlock the application, make changes, and lock it again afterward.
  • When exporting an application, app admins can choose whether to lock the application.

Lock an Application​

Go to App Management > Lock.

Enable locking → Set a lock password → Click Confirm.

Note: Only the app owner can perform this operation.

Restrictions After Locking an Application​

After an application is locked, users can only perform the following operations in each module:

  • App Management: Only app renaming, description editing, log viewing, usage analysis, and unlocking are available.
  • Worksheet Management: Only worksheet naming, description editing, number reset, Excel import, log viewing, and recycle bin access are available.
  • View Management: Only sharing and exporting are available.
  • Workflow: The workflow entry is hidden.
  • Navigation: Hidden worksheets and custom pages are not displayed.

Unlock and Disable Locking​

  • Only app admins and developers can unlock an application.
  • Unlocking only applies to the current user. Other members must unlock the application separately before they can modify the application.
  • The options to change the app lock password and disable locking are only available to the app owner.

Lock an Application During Export​

When exporting an application, you can choose to lock it. After import, the new application will be in a locked state, and no users can view or modify its configuration.

  • After importing a locked application, users can only unlock the application. No user can disable locking.
