Locking and Unlocking Risks

Only one user can edit a risk at a time. Risk editing is done in the Risk Information Dialog box. Once a user opens a risk, this risk will be locked for all other users. Locked risks have the icon next to the risk name. The risk will be automatically unlocked once risk editing is complete (once the user closes the Risk Information Dialog box).

If a risk is locked it can be unlocked by an administrator. As an example, it may be necessary for an administrator to intervene if a user has a risk opened for a long time period.

To unlock a project or a group of projects:

1. Click the Risks tab. In the Risks Views group, click Risk Register or Risk Properties.
2. Select the risk or multiple risks you would like to unlock.
3. Right-click on the project ID and from the shortcut menu, click Unlock Risk.
