# Set Flow Read-Only

`PUT /flows/{flowId}/read_only`

Set the read-only property. If set to 'true', service implementations SHOULD reject client requests to update Flow metadata (other than the read_only property), and Flow Segments. Service implementations should also reject requests to the [`/flows/{flowId}/storage`](#/operations/POST_flows-flowId-storage) endpoint for the Flow, and requests to delete the Flow.

## Request body

- boolean

## Response `204`

No content. The read_only property has been set to the given value.

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad request. Invalid Flow read_only value. Value must be boolean.
- `403` — Forbidden. You do not have permission to modify this Flow.
- `404` — The requested Flow does not exist.
