Idea Summary
While Oracle APEX now supports bulk page locking, it still lacks page group–based locking. In large, modular applications, developers often organize pages into groups like “Admin,” “Finance,” or “Reports.” Enabling lock/unlock actions at the page group level would provide faster, more controlled management of access during development, testing, or deployment phases.
Use Case
Project leads or module owners can lock or unlock entire functional modules in one step for instance, locking all “UAT” or “Finance” pages before release, or unlocking the “Reports” group for enhancement work, without manually selecting pages each time.
Preferred Solution
Add a “Lock/Unlock by Page Group” option within Application Builder that:
- Allows one-click lock/unlock of all pages within a selected group.
- Displays the current lock status per group for easy tracking.
- Optionally records who performed the action for better collaboration and auditability.
