The Record Locking settings determine how an open record can be updated. Options include:

•Not locking records—Allows multiple users to view a record that is already open, but only the first user who saves the record will have record changes saved.

•Locking records—Prevents other users from updating an open record. Record locking only applies to system objects and custom objects for end-users (see Release Edit Locks Right). record locking does not apply to user or group records.

Setting a lock time-out—Prevents other users from updating an open record. After the current record owner has been idle for a specified time duration, the record will be unlocked.

In addition, you can enable or disable rights to update the Relations tab of a locked contact or project record.

Optionally, you can assign rights to unlock records from Group rights.
