The System Configuration Lock provides the ability to remove access to all settings in your copy of SmartSimple using a global system-lock password.
- This will prevent creation, deletion or modification of Standard or Custom Fields, changes to any of the Settings pages, changes in permissions, portal views, etc.
- The lock will be in effect for all users, including Global User Administrators. It can only be unlocked by re-entering the global system-lock password.
- This system lock-down can be configured and enabled on the Global Settings page in the Security Settings section.
Setting the System Lock Password
The System Lock Password is set by clicking on the System Lock Password tab at the top of the Lock System Configurations page.
- To set the password the first time leave the "Old Password" field blank, and enter the new password twice where indicated.
- To change the System Lock Password enter the old password where indicated, and input a new password in the last 2 fields.
- When setting a System Lock Password be sure to share it with anyone else that should have the ability to lock or unlock your instance.
