Configuration Lock in Gaia Clish

Only one user can have Read/Write access to Gaia configuration database at a time. All other users can log in with Read-Only access to see configuration settings, as specified by their assigned roles in Gaia OS (see Roles).

When you log in and no other user has Read/Write access, you get an exclusive configuration lock with Read/Write access. If a different user already has the configuration lock, you have the option to override their lock.

If you:

  • Override the lock, then the other user stays logged in with Read-Only access.

  • Do not override the lock, then you cannot modify the settings.

Description

Use the "lock database override" and "unlock database" commands to get exclusive read-write access to the Gaia database by taking write privileges away from other administrators logged into the system.

Syntax

lock database override

unlock database

Comments

  • Use these commands with caution.

    The administrator, whose write access is revoked, does not receive a notification.

  • The "lock database override" command is identical to the "set config-lock on override" command.

  • The "unlock database" command is identical to the "set config-lock off" command.
