Description

Hi,

why is it not possible for Admins to unlock any files via the webgui?
Problem is a automatically locked file by Destop-Client of another user.
I would like to unlock it via the nextcloud webgui.

Thanks a lot

Research direction

Review the files_lock repository and its JavaScript web UI entry points first; issue #764 does not identify files or tests. Define the expected admin-only unlock flow and verify that an administrator can unlock another user's automatically locked file through the web UI.
