Overriding a map lock

A company administrator (admin)or IBM Support can override (unlock) the lock that another user placed on a map.

About this task

A lock on a map prevents anyone from changing the map. A company administrator or IBM Support might need to use the Unlock function in the user interface in various scenarios. For example, if a map is locked by one user but that user is not available and another user needs to revise the map.

Procedure

  1. From the side navigation menu, select Company resources > Mappings. Then, click the Action items menu for the map you want to unlock.
  2. From the Action items menu, select Unlock.
    The Unlock map modal is displayed.
    Important: The modal indicates which user currently holds the lock. When you override the map lock, the map is then available to be edited by other users.
  3. Click Unlock.
    The map is unlocked.
