Lock an Airwall Edge Service

Lock an Airwall Edge Service so only system administrators can edit it.

Conductor users get editing permissions for Airwall Edge Services when they are an editor of an overlay network. If that overlay network contains a smart device group, the matching rules might pull additional Airwall Edge Services into the network. This might unexpectedly give network administrators editing permissions for those Airwall Edge Services.

You can lock an Airwall Edge Service so that only system administrators can edit it. This lock overrides all other permissions. This feature can be particularly useful on a Conductor shared by multiple groups of users where you do not want network administrators to gain elevated access to a shared resource.
