[Discussion] How we use the "lock" icon across GitLab

Context

The "lock" icon is being used in many ways at GitLab. How can we consolidate this usage and make sure our icon usage is concise and clear to users?

Design Audit

These are the places where the "Lock" icon is currently being used in GitLab:

Product Area Feature Repro steps Screenshot Notes

Source Code

  • Directory page
  • Single file page

Show locked status of a locked file/directory. See &13019

Note: this feature is currently in implementation in &13019

  • Navigate to a code repository
  • Navigate to a file/directory where you have Maintainer access
  • Click "Lock" to lock a file

 Lock icon is directly representative of a "locking" function.

Organizations

  • Projects homepage
 Shows a Private group
  • Navigate to the GitLab Homepage
  • Scroll down the list to see a Private file

 Project privacy is very important for our customers. Would changing the icon here possibly concern users?

Organizations

  • User projects list
 Shows a private group
  • Navigate to your profile
  • In the "Personal projects" section, click "View all"
