# Lock resources to prevent unexpected changes

1010
As an administrator, you may need to lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. You can set the lock level to **CanNotDelete** or **ReadOnly**. In the portal, the locks are called **Delete** and **Read-only** respectively.

* **CanNotDelete** means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete the resource.

* **ReadOnly** means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the **Reader** role.

To create or delete management locks, you must have access to `Microsoft.Authorization/*` or `Microsoft.Authorization/locks/*` actions. Of the built-in roles, only **Owner** and **User Access Administrator** are granted those actions.

## Azure Backups and locks
56+
57+
If you lock the resource group created by Azure Backup Service, backups will start to fail. The service supports a maximum of 18 restore points. With a **CanNotDelete** lock, the backup service is unable to clean up restore points. For more information, see [Frequently asked questions-Back up Azure VMs](../../backup/backup-azure-vm-backup-faq.md).
