Hello, 

Is there a way to password protect sa ving changes in the block diagram?  I don't want to password protect viewing the code, only making changes.

much thanks!

Hello Monse,

If you want true password protection without changing what the user has access to within the development environment, your best bet is probably to set the folder containing your VIs to read-only with restricted user permissions.  This won't stop editing, but it will prevent saving the modified VIs.

Another option is to "lock" the VI, which will assist in preventing casual editing but doesn't allow a password.  More information on locking VIs can be found here:

I'll try that, thanks!
