Default Re: Locking a session

There are a couple of things you can do.
You can lock the file from the workspace browser and after you quit and restart the file is locked.
However, you can easily unlock it if you know how.
The same goes to change the access of the file to "No Access"
If someone wants to get into it badly enough and they know how to change it back then there is little you can do.
It sounds like you are sharing a space. Why not just keep it on a separate hard drive. Or save your work (session) as a "save as" and keep it on a flash drive?
Just a couple of thoughts.

It is possible to create an archive of the file with a password or you can also create a disk image of the session and Files that is password protected with Disk utility.
By far the simplest way to do it it to use a drive and take it with you or lock it up.
