Lock, unlock, and password-protect profiles
You can prevent unauthorized changes to preflight profiles by locking profiles and giving them passwords. This may
be useful if preflight profiles are shared among several users. You can lock or password-protect preflight profiles when
you first create them or any time you save the preflight profiles. By default, all predefined preflight profiles are locked.
