The Locks Command
The Locks command maintains the set of locks that apply to a dynamic stream A stream whose configuration changes over time, with new versions promoted from child workspaces and/or from other dynamic streams. It also inherits versions from its parent 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 The facility of streams and workspaces that enables users to specify which elements are to appear. See include rule., and the ability to modify the stream's settings.

Right-click a dynamic stream, and select Locks from the context menu.
(if there are currently one or more locks on the stream) Click the Locks icon that appears below the stream
On a given stream, you can create one lock of each type:
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.)
Prevents versions from being added to the specified stream’s default group. Disables promotion to the stream.
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:
The lock applies only to the specified user, or to all the members of the specified group.
The lock applies to all users, except for the specified user, or except for all the members of the specified group.
