To remove a lock, click on it and click on the Unlock Selected button.

You can select (and deselect) multiple locks by pressing Ctrl as you click on each one, or Shift as you click on the last block in a range.

When you have finished reviewing the locks, click on the Close button to close the dialog.

Notes

  • You must have 'Security - Manage Locks' permission to view and delete user locks; the initial Admin administrator and Administrators group automatically have this permission
  • The 'Active Locks' dialog does not currently show any Full locks set in the model
  • If you want to display the resulting information in a more readable layout, you can resize the dialog and its columns
