## 3.11.5 Locking a Workspace

Instance administrators can lock a workspace to address security or performance issues.

Locking a workspace immediately locks all workspace administrator, developer, and user accounts in the workspace. It also changes the status of all applications in the workspace to Unavailable.

Warning:

Locking a workspace makes it permanently inaccessible.

To lock a workspace:

1. Sign in to Oracle APEX Administration Services.
2. Click Manage Workspaces.
3. Under Workspace Actions, click Lock Workspace.
4. For Workspace, select the workspace you want to lock and click Next.
5. Review the information about applications and users and click Lock Workspace.
