Sometimes crises arise, however, you can be prepared with Orlo's Company Lockdown feature. In this guide, learn how to activate Company Lockdown in the settings area to shut down your social media channels in a crisis.
Things to consider ✅
- Only admin users can activate company lockdown
- When the company lockdown is activated, all scheduled content will be paused and placed in a pending approval state and can be re-approved once the lockdown is lifted
- Comments will not be affected during the lockdown, meaning users can still respond to messages during this time
How to enable Company Lockdown:
1) Navigate to the menu in the top right-hand corner ➡️ Click 'Settings' ➡️ Click 'Company Lockdown'
2) Once you are in the Company Lockdown area, to activate Company Lockdown, type in the word 'Lockdown' in the security phrase box and click 'Confirm.'
Once activated, the following will happen:
- All users will be logged out
- Your scheduled content won’t be published and will be sent for approval, allowing you to make any necessary changes or leave in validation until you're ready to begin regular content publishing
- Your inbound messages won’t be affected
- Users in the Admin group or any groups that have the lockdown permission enabled will be able to log back into the platform and use Orlo as normal
3) To de-activate the Company Lockdown, head back to the Company Lockdown area in the settings type in the word 'Unlock' in the security phrase box and click 'Confirm.' Once unlocked, users can log back into Orlo as usual.
Top Tip 💡
We recommend setting up a dedicated lockdown team within the Team Permissions area with the Company Lockdown permission enabled. Doing this allows you to add users to this group to quickly give people access to the platform when the lockdown is enabled.
Enabling Company Lockdown can give you peace of mind when a crisis arises knowing that your social channels are secure and only relevant content is posted to mitigate any further risk!
