When an Admin logs into SmartConsole and sees a lock icon on a gateway object and cannot edit that object, it indicates that another Admin has made an edit to that object and has yet to publish the change. SmartConsole supports concurrent administration, which means that multiple Admins can work on the same security policy at the same time. However, when one Admin edits an object, such as a gateway, a rule, or a network, that object is locked for other Admins until the change is published or discarded. The lock icon shows which objects are being edited by other Admins and prevents conflicts or overwrites. The gateway being powered off, incorrect routing to reach the gateway, or logging in to Read-Only mode do not cause the lock icon to appear.References: [Concurrent Administration], [SmartConsole Overview]
