Locking the Vault repository

I apologize if this question has already been posted.

Is it possible to lock the entire repository for checkins? We have a release process where we dedicate a day when no checkins should happen. Users should still be able to check out.

Is it possible to do that and if so can this be done through API as well? Ideally only one (the user who initiated it) would have checkin premissions but anyone else no permission to check in.

Thanks

There are a couple of ideas that will get you close to the functionality you want.

1. Use Folder Security in the admin tool, and apply a Read only security to all users on the $ node. Your users won't be able to check in any changes.

2. Pin the node that you want to protect. No new versions can be committed inside a pinned folder.

The pin option can be done through the command line client.

Thanks a bundle Jeremy. This sound like something I've been looking for.

Apologies for a late response.

We have tried out the pining solution and it seems to do what we needed.
