How to Lock Dimension Members

This task is for Contributors and Power Users.

You can lock specific members or combinations of members in a model to prevent modification. This is useful when you want to allow data input for a specific segment of data only. For example, lock Actual data from modification, but allow input for all Budget data.
Data Locking is a two-step process:

• Set up the data locking definitions.
• Turn on or off all data locking in the application on the Manage, Application Administration, Application Settings page. This step must be done by a Power User.
