Lock AEM Components

[sathishtb1]

currently we have option to lock and unlock AEM Pages, like that do we have any option available to lock and unlock AEM components?

@sathishtb1  i dont think we have any OOTB feature of lock and unlock the component. But you can place a container in template and use the lock and unlock feature for a layout container

What would be use case when you want unlock/lock a components , either you can use allow/disallow certain components via Template Editor.

To answer your question currently there are no OOTB functionality to support your requirement

[sathishtb1]

Need to lock the component, as other user is not allowed to edit the component.

[VeenaVikraman]

So is it like you have few authors who should be allowed to edit a few components and rest few should not ?

[sathishtb1]

yes

Hi @sathishtb1 

You can do it at the template level

Hope it helps!

Thanks,

@sathishtb1 You could try using ACLs to control permissions to components using useradmin console.
