You can prevent portal users from modifying the content of a container on a static page. If you lock the content of a container on a page, then a portlet cannot be added to that container, or moved into or out of that container.When a container is locked, it can not be removed from the page. As an administrator, you are able to restrict the following tasks that may be performed with the contents of a container.
- Add portlets to the container
- Remove portlets from the container
- Move portlets inside of the container into other containers
- Add sub-containers (columns or rows) to the container

- Set the width for the container
- Click Administration > Manage Pages.
- Click on the Edit Page Layout icon (small pencil) next to the page name.
- Click on the Locks tab.
- To lock the content of the container, click on the lock icon in the upper left corner of the container box. The icon shows a closed lock when the content of the container is locked, and an open lock when it is unlocked. Clicking on the icon toggles back and forth between locked and unlocked.
- Click Done to save the changes to the page.
You can verify that the content of a container is locked by clicking the Content tab. If the content of a container box is locked, then it does not display an Add portlet button or any directional arrows.
