Lockout

Lockout is a Craft CMS plugin that temporarily restricts control panel access during deployments, content freezes, and structural changes. Its database-backed state survives project config application, while permissions and per-environment configuration determine who can enter and how locked-out requests respond.

Features

• Dedicated utility — see whether Lockout is enabled, the active environment, and whether the state comes from the database or a config override, then toggle it from one place.
• Permission-based access — grant users permission to manage Lockout or bypass it while everyone else remains locked out; administrators always retain access.
• Deployment-safe state — the database-backed toggle survives project-config/apply, making it suitable for deployment scripts and content freezes.
• Environment overrides — force Lockout on or off from config/lockout.php; an active override disables the utility toggle and clearly identifies its source.
• Custom lock screen — set the headline and message, return either a 403 or 503 response, and optionally render your own template.
• CLI ready — enable, disable, or inspect Lockout from deployment scripts, with status output that includes the effective state and its source.
