To lock a workspace from sharing
You can lock a workspace in your DataPrep organisation and prevent users from sharing it further. Unlocking lifts the lock on the workspace, and it will be allowed for sharing.
Even if a workspace is in the locked state, the users with whom it was already shared could still access the workspace and make changes to its data. Locking only restricts further sharing of the workspace. It does not restrict access to the workspace.
A workspace can be locked or unlocked from the sharing panel only by the following user roles:
- Account admin
- Organisation admins
- Workspace admins
1. To lock a workspace, click the lock icon
on the sharing panel and select the Lock Workspace option.
2. Now, you have successfully locked your workspace from sharing.
3. When a workspace is locked, you will see all the options in a disabled state in the sharing panel and the lock
icon will be in the locked state.
Note: When you lock a workspace, all its child entities (datasets, ruleset templates) will be locked from sharing.
4. When locked, the other users with whom you have already shared the entities in the workspace can access it, but cannot share it with anyone else.
Here's a sample snapshot they would see.

5. To unlock a workspace, click the lock icon 
on
the sharing panel and select the Unlock Workspace option. Your workspace will be unlocked for sharing.
