## 5.1. Restricted Configuration

Restricted configuration of a workspace can only be done when the workspace is locked down. It can only be performed by the user designated as the Root User for the workspace. No other user can sign in to the workspace while the configuration is being performed.

Restricted configuration applies only to objects on the Administration/Configuration page. These are shown below.

The files and folders in this location are under version control. When you begin restricted configuration, these items are checked out, allowing you to make the necessary modifications. When you exit the configuration mode, the folder is checked in with a new version number. Thus, all changes made in restricted mode are kept in the version history and you can go back to a previous version of the configuration if desired.

The following sections describe how you can start and end the restricted configuration mode.
