Locked artifact does not show lock symbol
ELM version 6.0.6.1. I have created a personal view in DNG module with filter to show only locked artifacts in the module. This view shows me artifacts but lock icon is not displayed for those artifacts.
I am unable to deliver my change set because while delivering change set I get the error as some artifacts are locked in target stream.
I think it is because of these locked artifacts I can not deliver change to the stream because these artifacts are locked in stream. However I can not unlock these artifacts even with Jazz Admin role.
There is no option to unlock the artifact in the context menu, if different user locks these artifact and unlocks again even then these artifacts are displayed as locked artifact but with no lock icon.
Can someone please help me understand whats going on here and how can I unlock these artifacts.
One answer
I would suggest you look up the documentation and read up on the JazzAdmin repository role.
Just because you have the JazzAdmin repository role does not give you any permissions in any of the project areas. All operations are guarded by permissions and you will have to have a role in a project area to perform such guarded operation. Being JazzAdmin only allows you to give yourself a role, create and modify roles and change permissions on roles.
Locks have a set of permissions that guard them
Modify Locks
* Manually Lock Artifacts
* Override locks
To override locks set by others you have to have a role that has at least the Override locks permission.
In a view that shows artifacts that are locked by any user, you should see the lock symbol in the first column. Without the permissions set correctly, right clicking the edit symbol would show the unlock operation grayed out for requirements locked by other users. If you have the correct permission, the unlock becomes active and you can perform it.
