Settings can be locked so that users are prevented from altering settings and/or prevented from altering configuration of online map services in the Layers Library. With these options enabled, a password is required to change settings.
This feature can be combined with ‘Share Settings’ feature (below) to assist an organisation to distribute required settings to all users and then use the Lock Settings to prevent the users from overriding those settings.
