The Administrative Lockout function is a tool recommended
for network installations. Use this when installing upgrades, PAUS updates,
and patches.
It is accessed by selecting File
> Maintenance > Common > Set (or Release) Administrative Lockout.
It is recommended that Administrators use this function before the installation process to prevent issues related to having users still logged in while an installation or upgrade is running. This feature works on a Set/Release toggle. When the lock is set, if users attempt to log on, they will receive a message stating that “(User’s name) has locked Estimation for Administrative Tasks.”
You must belong to the user group Supervisor to use this feature.
The user who sets the restriction must also be the one to release it.
Users not belonging to the Supervisor group will not be able to see this option.
When the installation or upgrade is complete, remember to “release” the Administrative Lockout toggle.
