I need to lock down my space as a matter of urgency, so that nobody can view anything. How do I do this? Is this possible?

i believe it’s

./launcher enter app
rails r 'UserAuthToken.destroy_all'

You may want to consider posting a banner or global notice before running the command to inform your users.
