Locking and unlocking static page content

Control changes to the content of a container on a static portal page.

You can prevent portal users from modifying the content of a container on a static page. If you lock the content of a container on a page, then a portlet cannot be added to that container, or moved into or out of that container.
  1. Click Administration > Manage Pages.
  2. Click on the Edit Page Layout icon (small pencil) next to the page name.
  3. Click on the Locks tab.
  4. To lock the content of the container, click on the lock icon in the upper left corner of the container box. The icon shows a closed lock when the content of the container is locked, and an open lock when it is unlocked. Clicking on the icon toggles back and forth between locked and unlocked.
  5. Click Done to save the changes to the page.
You can verify that the content of a container is locked by clicking the Content tab. If the content of a container box is locked, then it does not display an Add portlet button or any directional arrows.
