Lock the contents of a TFS work item

We are using TFS 2010 and use work items and the changesets that are linked to them as the unit of change that gets deployed. I would like to put a work item into a "frozen" state, preventing any new changesets from being linked to it. Is this possible?

You can't lock individual Work Items so your best bet would be to set security on a particular area path and remove edit permissions to Work Items in that area for the required users.

When a Work Item is frozen it is put into that area and normal contributors wouldn't have access to edit it.

Team Foundation Server 2010 Permissions

You can set these permissions by right-clicking the project in Team Explorer, clicking Areas and Iterations, and on the Area tab, clicking Security.
