Please provide a way to lock a board/document

I do want to mention one additional tool for your consideration - Locking the objects on your board. You can do so by selecting all objects (ctrl/cmd+ a), then choosing Lock in the context toolbar. it is not a perfect solution as it’s not permission-based, but may help prevent accidental deletions or edits from an errant click. 

We cannot do this thru the API, right? And only if we’re using enterprise? Sadly, this does not seem to meet our needs.

@mackenzie.moore Would you mind telling us a bit more about your use case and what you’re hoping to do? That will help us provide a recommendation for you!

Yes @Micah - thanks! 

My team is building software that works with multiple cloud storage providers’ APIs. For simplicity sake, imagine a “Create a New Version” button. When the user hits the button, there’s a new copy of the document in the CSP (whether it’s google drive, box, etc) and the old one is not editable anymore. 

We have been doing this for years in other CSPs, but we have yet to find this functionality in Lucid. It’s posing a bit of a problem because we don’t have feature parity; compared to the files stored through other providers, it’s a little weird that we’re calling the new document a new version if the old one is still editable. 

Thank you @mackenzie.moore for this detailed description of what you’re looking to do. I’ve raised this internally with our API team and product manager @Ian Baenziger for his input!
