Locking down OOTB site columns and content types

Asked By: Jody Holloway Date: Mar 28, 2007 Category: Sharepoint Views: 453

I've heard it recommended that you should lock down the OOTB site
columns and content types so users can't modify them. At the same
time, I've heard that you shouldn't edit OOTB Features and definitions,
but create new ones instead. I'm having trouble reconciling these two
recommendations. The only way I can find to lock down existing site
columns and content types is by marking them "Sealed=TRUE" in the
Features where they are defined. Is this the only way to do this?

Please can someone confirm or deny that you can only lock down out of
the box site columns by marking the column as sealed in the feature
(for example, fieldswss feature)? I'm looking for a second opinion
here.
