In D2, we want to give cancel checkout privileges to a specific admingroup for all checkedout docs

Hi,
In D2, we want to give cancel checkout privileges to a specific admingroup for all checkedout docs in the application.
I try to do using an condition "user is into group $(value)" from custom menu. D2_ACTION_CONTENT_CANCEL_CHECKOUT action is already enabled.

Please suggest

  • So does the users in this admingroup have superuser privileges? I believe only the document owner and superuser can cancel checkout (ie unlock documetn).

  • Thank you for your reply.

    No, in adminroup none of the users has superuser privileges.
    And, yes only document owner and super user can cancel chekout. So, in my scenario, do we have any chance to provide access of cancel checkout to admingroup.

  • Not sure if making the action available will get around the security constraint. As a workaround, you can create a workflow that you can attach the checked out document to and have a server action activity to set the r_lock_owner attribute to null (this will unlock the document).

  • ok thanks for suggestion..will try
