How to lock configurations in Paloalto Firewall

Q: Can I lock my configuration when I am working on Paloalto Firewall so that other admin can’t mess up the configuration?

chicagotech.net: yes, you can. The web interface enables you to apply a configuration or commit lock so that other administrators cannot change the configuration or commit changes until the lock is removed. To lock it, click the top right lock of the web interface.

Tip: To configure the firewall to automatically set a commit lock whenever an administrator changes the candidate configuration, select Device > Setup > Management, edit the General Settings, enable Automatically Acquire Commit Lock, and then click OK and Commit.
