Windchill admin rights in checked out objects in WC 10.0

[AttePeltola]

Windchill administrator should have possibility to undo chekout as mass if neccessary. Worked in PDMlink 9.1...in 10.0 only one CAD object at the time + collector.

In our case user does not work in our company anymore and left over 3000 objects as checked out. As a workaround it was suggested that change user password as admin as desired and log in as user. Unfortunately our passwords comes from AD so it were a byrocracy mess to get that user password reseted.

Eventhought deleting user from Windchill would undo checkout for all that users reserved CAD objects --> Does not work in case that user is on vacation. Also deleting users workspace would not be suitable in this case --> Local workspace can include multiple new objects.

We never delete users that leave the company. We move their user account to a deactivated list which will leave workspaces and checked out objects in tact. We went to clear out all checked out files from users that are not at the company anymore and found we could not do so other than doing each file one by one which would be very time consuming. It would be nice to allow product managers and organization administrator to do multi admin undo checkouts of multiple files at once from a search window. We do not like to delete users as they will go on vacation or out of the country where we are asked to disable all user accounts then reactivate when they come back.
