ALM Requirements checked out by other users

Question

For ALM, how to recover the checked-in status for tests or other entities (requirements, components, etc.) if the user who has last checked-out does not exist in Site Administration any longer?

Answer

Perform the following steps:

1. Login to the project with an user belonging to any of the following groups:

 - TDAdmin Group. Users from the TDAdmin group have the permission to cancel the check out of a versioned entity that was checked out by another user.
- Custom group, for which is enabled the group permission in Administration tab -> "Undo Check Outs'.

2. Go to the test and perform the operation ‘Undo Check-Out’.

That will reset the test (entity) in status Check-in and will preserve its history before the last check-out.
