The lock and security controls associated with option groups and features quickly set those conditions for all options in the group.

The group control typically reflects the setting for all options in the group or feature set. But, if at least one option in the group has a lock or security control that is different from the other options, the group control shows an indeterminate icon. |
In addition to the undefined controls, the group controls for locking and security are the same as those for individual options.
You can lock or unlock all of the attributes associated with a feature by selecting the lock icon next to the feature name, after you activate the feature. This will lock or unlock all of the attributes for the feature, unless an attribute was locked at a higher level. For example, if you locked an attribute in a template, and then created another derived template, the attribute that was locked in the original template cannot be unlocked in the derived template (it is locked in parent).
If an attribute is locked in the template, you can change the value in that template, but not in the derived children. If you change the value in the parent template, the change propagates to all child objects. For more information, see Configure Objects.
