Revoke Locks from Users

As a System Administrator, you can revoke locked objects (e.g. calculations or master data) by removing the locks from their owner.

A lock is revoked so that locked objects can be released again for editing by other users. Revoking locks means that the user is no longer able to publish changes. The user must discard all existing changes.

This is also the last opportunity to obtain access to locked user objects.

Revoke Locks from Users

  1. Open Users and Rights Workspace

    • You are logged in as System Administrator.
    • In the ribbon, click on Start ► Workspaces ► Users and Privileges.

      The Users and Privileges workspace opens.

  2. In the Explorer, click on Known Users.

    A new tab opens showing a list of known users in the system.

  3. Select the user whose locks you wish to remove.
  4. Right-click on the selected user ► Revoke User Locks.

    A dialog appears prompting you to confirm the lock removal.

  5. Confirm with Revoke.

    This removes the locks from the user.
