Are there thoughts for a more complete design which would only disable certain interactions, but allowing others?
Such as media control, viewing battery usage, etc but not allowing the user to reply to messages, for example.

Title:
  Indicators are not available when the phone is locked

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in The Unity 8 shell:
  Triaged
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A recent change in the interest of security removed access to the
  indicators when the phone is locked and the greeter is showing.

  This was an accentual change based on a misunderstanding

  There had been a plan to support media playback control via the sound
  indicator. Without this the user must unlock the phone in order to
  simply pause the music or change songs, etc.

  
  ----------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Revert the change that caused this issue

  - Add a switch to System Settings to enable security conscious user to
  switch off Launcher and Greeter access while the phone is locked.
  This setting should *always* be off by default.  MPT is currently
  working on wireframe for this.
