Use Deploy Lock with Content Lock
A content type that is lockable, e.g., Article Locks, works with the Content Lock feature in a deployment. Lockable content type data must be in 'locked' status to be deployable.
Whether content managers on target sites can edit or delete deployed 'locked' content depends on whether their site has:
- Content Lock ON - deployed content is locked. Content is locked from editing and deletion unless 'unlocked' status is deployed from the source site.
- Content Lock OFF - deployed content is unlocked. Content can be edited and deleted by target site CMS users (as per their usual role permissions).
Source Site Admins
On a source site, CMS Administrators and Content Administrators can enable or disable deployment of specific content types and select target sites. Other roles can be given one or more specific permissions:
- Manage Linked Sites - select/deselect target sites
- Manage Deployed Content - select/deselect deployment content types
- View Deployed Content - view but not edit or delete locked content deployed from a source
NOTE - Contact Commerce Vision to apply one or more permissions to a non-administrator role.
Target Site Admins
On a target site with Content Locked enabled, CMS Administrators and Content Administrators CANNOT edit or delete any locked content deployed from another site. To allow this content to be edited on the target site, the source site admin must re-deploy the content to unlock it.
