Is there a way to have all the files locked by default and unlocked when required?

Hi,

By default, all the files are unlocked on a stream and locked when needed. Is there a way to have all the files locked by default and unlock (by the locked user or the project admin for example) as and when required? The work around is that I can go to each file and lock it - this is a manual process and looking for an easy way!

Thanks!

This is an old question, but I believe the "Pessimistic Locking" feature delivered in RTC 5.0.2 would solve these requests.

If you want to protect every file in the stream, you might want to use
process instead of locking. In particular, define a role, only allow
that role to deliver to the stream.
