HOW TO ADD LOCKS TO RESOURCE GROUPS

Resource locks protect your Azure resources from accidental deletion or modification. As an administrator, you can lock an Azure subscription, resource group, or resource to protect them from accidental user deletions and modifications. The lock overrides any user permissions. You can set locks that prevent either deletions or modifications. In the portal, these locks are called Delete and Read-only
