2. Using the AccuRev GUI : The Locks Command

The Locks Command
The Locks command maintains the set of locks that apply to a dynamic stream. Locks control the ability to Promote versions to/from the stream, the ability to configure the stream's contents with the include/exclude facility, and the ability to modify the stream's settings.
See also: Security.
Invoking the Locks Command
You can open a Locks dialog in the StreamBrowser in any of these ways:
Right-click a dynamic stream, and select Locks from the context menu.
The Locks Dialog Box
On a given stream, you can create one lock of each type:
Lock All
Disables promotion of versions to/from the stream; disables include/exclude mode changes to the stream; disables the Change Stream command for the stream. (Does not disable the Remove command.)
Lock Promotes To
Prevents versions from being added to the specified stream’s default group. Disables promotion to the stream.
Lock Promotes From
Prevents the removal of versions from the stream’s default group. Disables promotion and purging from the stream.
A Lock All setting takes precedence over "to" and/or "from" settings.
You can restrict the effect of the lock:
Only for
The lock applies only to the specified user, or to all the members of the specified group.
Except for
The lock applies to all users, except for the specified user, or except for all the members of the specified group.
