Locking an Action List

You can secure your Action List with a password to prevent others from changing it. This may be convenient when the Action List is shared among multiple users. You can lock an Action List with a password when you create the Action List or you can add a password afterwards.

To lock an Action List

Open the Action Lists dialog. Refer to Where to find Actions and Action Lists.
Select an Action List and double-click it.
Under Properties, select Locking Information.
Select the appropriate option:
- To allow everyone to run, view, and edit this Action List, select Not locked.
- To allow everyone to run the Action List and view the Actions in the Action List, select Partially locked.
  
  Users will not be able to change the individual Actions and their respective attributes in the Action List. This is useful to give the users a precise idea of what the Action List will do.
- To allow users to run the Action List only, select Locked.
  
  Users will not be able to see or change the Actions in the Action List without filling in the password first.
If you haven chosen to (partially) lock the Action List, fill in a password and confirm it.
The password can include:
- Uppercase and lowercase letters
- Any character on the keyboard
- Spaces
Click Apply.
