MATLAB: Is there a way to prevent users from implementing their changes to a library in Simulink 7.4 (R2009b)

simulink

Many users use a library that I have created in Simulink 7.4 (R2009b). Sometimes a user disables the links to the library, makes modifications in his local model and then implements these modifications to the original library.
I would like to configure the library so that users are prevented from implementing these changes to the original library.

The ability to prevent users from implementing their changes to a library is not available in Simulink 7.4 (R2009b).
To work around this issue, set the user permissions in the operating system to make the library file read-only for users who are not allowed to modify it.
Additionally, it is possible to make subsystems read-only, so that user will not be able to make any modification in their model. This option is available in the 'Subsystem Parameters' dialog box of a subsystem.
