Lock
=====

.. index:: Lock

**Goal:** you get an overview of who is currently working with shared
projects, the resource pool, or floating licenses, and remove locks as
needed.

**Lock** shows on three tabs whether other users are currently

- working with shared projects,
- making changes in the resource pool,
- using floating licenses.

Locked projects
------------------

Here you get an overview of locked projects — including since when and
by whom they were taken into editing.

If you have the appropriate access rights, you can

- unlock all projects together by clicking the **Unlock all** button |image1|,
- or unlock individually selected projects by clicking the icon button |image2| in the **Actions** column.

Locked resource pools
-------------------------

|image3|

If a user has opened the resource pool for editing, this tab shows
information on since when and by whom it was opened for editing. With
the appropriate access rights, you remove the lock via the icon button
|image2| in the **Actions** column.

Locked floating licenses
----------------------------

|image4|

Here you see which users are currently working with a floating
license. Use the icon button |image2| in the **Actions** column to end
a user session and free up the floating license again.

Check the result
-----------------

After unlocking, the corresponding entry disappears from the list — the
resource (project, resource pool, or floating license) is available
again for other users.
