Set dashboard to read-only

Super Administrators can lock all settings as read-only in Zero Trust. Read-only mode ensures that all updates for the account are made through the API or Terraform.

To enable read-only mode:

1. In Zero Trust ↗, go to Settings > Account.
2. Enable API/Terraform read-only mode.

All users, regardless of user permissions, will be prevented from making configuration changes through the UI.
