Manage Project permissions should allow for unlocking other user's items (shouldn't require Org admi

Hi,

This is just for organization admins. Could a Project admin (someone who has "manage project" permission level) get this capability? It'll be really useful to not have to bug an organization admin to do this.

(The above is from our users' perspective. I'm an org admin and would appreciate not having to do this for them. :P I think it makes sense for anyone able to manage a project to be able to manage what items are locked.)

Thanks,

Ed

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Feature Request - Project Administer Needs Ability to Unlock Jama Items.

    Project Administrators need the ability to unlock locked items for their projects – at the project level. We have individuals who leave the company, or out of the office and those items remain locked preventing projects from being able to move forward.  Currently only the Org admins have this ability, which also puts a delay on the projects if the org admin is not available or working on other high priority tasks.

    Was there any action taken on this or modifications made to address this?  Just curious if this landed in the void or if this will be moved forward.

    Hello,

    I'm agree with Edward. If project administrators can unlock other user's locked items, it would be easier for them and also for the organization administrators.

    Would you mind giving this permission to project administrators too, please ?

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

    Grace

    Hi,

     

    +1 from us. This feature would help much our project teams. Currently Unlock only by Org Admin or by the person, who locked the item generates sometimes the bottleneck for the work.

    This is an issue for us as well. Particularly as, if a user doesn't finish the commit, the item is locked.

    There are many product ideas spanning about 5 years. How many of them have been implemented and addressed to date? Knowing there are limited resources, is there a place to see how the ideas are ranked, or how to encourage the adoption of a particular idea? The current silence is reminiscent of Dilbert: https://dilbert.com/strip/2009-03-20.

    Yes we would agree with this statement.

    It is simultaneously comforting to hear that I am not alone and very disappointing that it has come to this.
    Cheers to you and all those who wait with us in the silence.

    + 1 - This would be extremely useful for my organization. We have a couple of enterprise projects going and Org Admins are often receiving ad-hoc requests to unlock an item. In the interim, work is grinding to a halt for many while they wait for the Org Admin - who is certainly busy with other activities - to unlock their item(s). 

    It makes sense to empower Project Admins to provide this project specific service.

    +1 it would be nice to know where this request is in terms of the Product Idea void....given that this was raised going on five years ago...is there a chance of this being implemented any time soon or has the idea been rejected?

    Yes we would agree with this statement.

    Hi Vanessa! 

    We created our Ideation module after this thread took place. I searched the module for this as a logged idea but cannot find that it's been suggested yet. 

    If you are interested in filing a card on our Ideation page, I hope that others will find it there to comment/vote on it!
