If a folder is locked, a lock icon is displayed on the folder icon and all subfolders.
Viewing and editing items in folders is controlled by security group commands and workflow. When you lock or unlock a folder, the selected folder and all subfolders are locked or unlocked. Or, they may want to lock the folder at the end of a release to create an archive for the release. For example, a project manager may want to lock a release folder after the scope is defined to prevent other team members from adding and removing items in the backlog. You can lock folders so users cannot perform any actions on them, including adding or removing items and subfolders, and editing the folder details.
