Lock or unlock a group timesheet and hour preference
If you are a group administrator, you can configure and then lock a timesheet and hour preference for your group after a Workfront administrator unlocks it at the system level.
Locking an Adobe Workfront preference ensures that everyone in your group and in its subgroups is using the same setting for that preference. Though you can still reconfigure a preference that you lock, group administrators can’t do so for lower subgroups.
Conversely, unlocking a preference at the group level allows subgroup administrators more flexibility to manage the way their groups work with those items. When a preference is unlocked, group administrators can reconfigure it for those subgroups.
This is parallel to the ability that a Workfront administrator has to lock or unlock a preference for everyone in the system.
For information about how a Workfront administrator can lock or unlock a timesheet and hour preference for all groups in the system, see Configure timesheet and hour preferences.
For information about configuring a timesheet and hour preference for a group, see Configure timesheet and hour preferences for a group.
- Configuring an unlocked preference for a group doesn’t affect that preference for any subgroups below the group.
- If you move a group under a group that has a locked preference, the moved group inherits that preference and it is locked for the moved group.
- If you move a group under a group that has an unlocked preference, the moved group is not affected by that preference.

Lock or unlock a group timesheet and hour preference
-
Click the Main Menu icon in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, or (if available), click the Main Menu icon in the upper-left corner, then click Setup .
-
In the left panel, click Groups.
-
Click the name of the group where you want to lock or unlock a timesheets and hours preference.
-
In the left panel, click Timesheets and Hours Preferences.
-
On the page that appears, do any of the following:
-
If you want administrators of groups below your group to be able to configure a preference for their groups, unlock it .
-
If you want all groups below yours to use your configuration for a preference, make sure that it is locked (this is the default).
note important IMPORTANT It’s important to communicate with the administrators and users in groups below yours to ensure that all needs are accounted for in the way you configure a locked preference. When you lock it, your configuration for it is inherited by any subgroups below. And if the preference has been unlocked for any period of time, your configuration replaces those that group administrators in lower subgroups might have made.
