Unlock UI

The onQ Portal has pages that have icons that lock and unlock. This feature ensures that you don’t make an unintentional change to your protection configuration. Only users of role Administrator or Operator can unlock these icons; users of role Monitor cannot unlock these icons.

After you unlock the icons they become command buttons, enabling you to perform certain actions. To unlock these icons, simply use the padlock icon to toggle between these two states:


	click to enable UI command buttons
	click to disable UI command buttons

For example, if the padlock icon shows a closed padlock and is labeled Unlock to enable actions, you can view the status information related to protected nodes, but you cannot perform any actions.

To unlock the UI for a given page:

1. Go to the page you want to unlock:

• (HA) DASHBOARD tab > PROTECTED NODES page

• (DR) DASHBOARD tab > DR STATUS page

• (HA and DR) DASHBOARD tab > RECOVERY NODES page

2. Locate the closed padlock icon in the lower left corner.

3. Click on the icon to switch the icon to the open state, assuming the icon is in the closed state.

The icon changes to an open padlock and is unlabeled. Some of the fields in the table are revealed to be clickable buttons:
