non-owner unlocks

nipper

So I am going to have to implement a way for users to unlock other people's files (I know this is a big gun, don't shoot your self).

So, since these users work in the same WA and tsadm owns the WA, my thought is to make tsadm only an editor and give select users the login so they can unlock it.

My second option is a custom menu item that runs a setuid script which can unlock.

Number 3 is to make them admins.

Obviously the choice is 1 or 2.

We are seeing people edit a DCR and then cancel, leaving the locks around. Management wants the business users to be able to unlock, not an IT function (makes sense)

I am lean towards number 2, just curious if anyone has seen other options.

I assume someone else has run into this issue.

How bout having the workarea owner a business user, maybe teamlead or whatever.
then they could be responsible.

Or even a business admin account rather than a tsadmin account.

Ill always try to avoid writing more custom scripts
