Protecting questions
You can protect individual questions from being edited by other users when you create the custom property, IsProtected. The property is set within a selected question's Custom Properties tab in the Details pane. Once in place, only users with the role of Can edit protected questions (as defined in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin's User Administration activity) can modify the protected question labels and/or properties when working in UNICOM Intelligence Author Server Edition or when connected to a UNICOM Intelligence server from Author. You must manually set the IsProtected property for each question that you want to protect; the custom property does not govern an entire routing or .mdd file.
For more information on working with roles, see User administration.
