Locking Files

Hi, Everyone.
I’m stuck on Locking Files.
To suspend users to change gitlab-ci.yml and access our environment we need to lock it.

I’ve read this tutorial, but option “LockFile” does not exists.
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/file_lock.html

Our account is enterprise, I’m not sure about if it’s premium or ultimate.

Does anyone know how to configure it ? I’m not administrator, only common user.

My version gitlab is 12.1.2

Appreciate any help

Hi @tcosta and welcome to the community forum!

The ability to lock files in a repository is restricted to users Developer level access to the project and Administrators.
If a user has “Guest” or “Reporter” level access to the repository/project, I’d expect that the “Lock” button would appear grayed-out with the following message on hover:

If I understand correctly, you’re not seeing the “Lock” button at all. Is this correct? In that situation, it seems likely that you have not been added as a member of that project/repo.

In any case, having a project maintainer or GitLab admin to add you as a project member with developer or maintainer permissions should enable the ability to Lock files as described in the docs.

The GitLab community forum is a great place to find answers and share solutions, but as a GitLab Premium or Ultimate license you also have access GitLab Priority support. In the future, please don’t hesitate to submit a Support ticket if you need assistance.

Thanks, Greg.
The button does not show at all.
As you suggested, I’m gonna open a ticket.

Thanks a lot.
