Component lock feature not found in modern UI

KNIME Analytics Platform

Hello,
I am using the lock component feature, which is available using the old UI. Switching the same installation to the modern UI I can not locate where this functionality can be found.

Hi @Dnreb,

Welcome back to the forum!

The “lock component” feature is currently hidden in the Modern UI and is no longer a self-serve option by default. To use this legacy feature, you will need to contact KNIME Support directly.

However, because the old locking mechanism offers very limited security, we highly recommend these modern alternatives depending on your use case:

  • Hiding passwords: Use the Secret Store for secure credential handling.
  • Protecting workflow logic: The safest approach is to keep your workflow in a private space on KNIME Hub and expose it via a Service Deployment. Other users can then run it using the Call Workflow Service node without ever seeing the underlying nodes.
