# Organization Admin Lock Account

POST https://live.tradovateapi.com/v1/accountRiskStatus/organizationadminlockaccount
Content-Type: application/json

### Lock a subaccount to closing orders only.**Available to:** Organization administrators**Environments:** Live**[Rate Limit](/eval/overview/core-concepts/rate-limits):** No endpoint-specific limitApply a partner lock to a subaccount in your own organization, putting it in liquidate-only mode (`LiquidateOnlyModeImmediately`): the account can close open positions but can't open new ones. The lock is recorded with the `PartnerPayoutLock` reason code. You can pass an optional `reason`, stored with the lock and prefixed with `Partner lock:`.A partner lock never overrides a stronger lock. The check reads the subaccount's `adminAction`: if it's already `LockTradingImmediately` or `LiquidateImmediately`, the request is rejected. Locking a subaccount that's already in liquidate-only mode has no further effect, and returns the same shape as a successful lock — `HTTP 200` carrying the account's risk status, with no `errorText`.NinjaTrader enables this feature per organization, so work with the NinjaTrader Support team to turn it on.A rejected request returns `HTTP 200` with `errorText` set and no `accountRiskStatus`, not an error status. Check `errorText` to determine whether the lock succeeded.For the subaccount lifecycle, the effect on trading, and how this differs from Change Lock, see [Partner Account Lock and Unlock](/eval/overview/prop-firm-management/partner-account-lock-and-unlock).**Common Failure Scenarios**- The account isn't a subaccount in your organization, or the feature isn't enabled for your organization. The request is denied.
- The account's `adminAction` is already `LockTradingImmediately` or `LiquidateImmediately`, which a partner lock can't replace.**Error Messages**A failed request returns one of these messages:| Message                                              | Response             | Trigger                                                                                                                                                                                              |
