To create a lock on a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with the
`id` of the folder for which the lock should be applied. Optionally you may
supply the specific `locked_operations` to be applied with the folder lock.
**Folder Locks**
When using any folder lock API endpoints, you must be authenticated as the
owner/co-owner of the folder you are trying to access.
```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/folder_locks" \
-H "authorization: Bearer " \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"folder": {
"type": "folder",
"id": "33552487093"
},
"locked_operations": {
"move": true,
"delete": true
}
}'
```
```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
await client.folderLocks.createFolderLock({
folder: {
id: folder.id,
type: 'folder',
} satisfies CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField,
lockedOperations: {
move: true,
delete: true,
} satisfies CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField,
} satisfies CreateFolderLockRequestBody);
```
```python Python v10 theme={null}
client.folder_locks.create_folder_lock(
CreateFolderLockFolder(id=folder.id, type="folder"),
locked_operations=CreateFolderLockLockedOperations(move=True, delete=True),
)
```
```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
await client.FolderLocks.CreateFolderLockAsync(requestBody: new CreateFolderLockRequestBody(folder: new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField(id: folder.Id, type: "folder")) { LockedOperations = new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField(move: true, delete: true) });
```
```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
try await client.folderLocks.createFolderLock(requestBody: CreateFolderLockRequestBody(folder: CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField(id: folder.id, type: "folder"), lockedOperations: CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField(move: true, delete: true)))
```
```java Java v10 theme={null}
client.getFolderLocks().createFolderLock(new CreateFolderLockRequestBody.Builder(new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField("folder", folder.getId())).lockedOperations(new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField(true, true)).build())
```
**Setting Locked Operations**
If the `locked_operations` object is included with a folder lock request,
both `move` and `delete` need to be set to `true`. Supplying only one lock
operation in the object, or setting the values of both to something other
than `true` will produce an error. These options are in place to allow
for additional operations in the future.
## Lock Operations
There are two possible lock operations that may be applied to a folder, `move`
and `delete`.
The `move` lock will prevent the folder from being moved to a new location or
owner while the lock is still applied.
The `delete` lock will prevent the folder from being deleted while the lock is
still applied.
