I have a file checked out by a user. As I am the admin user of the site and have site manager permissions everywhere I cannot seem to cancel the editing, I get the following error:

I found this has been reported https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-17725. Is there a workaround ?

[sharifu]

The same user that has checked out the file cannot cancel the editing. It keeps complaining the user has no permissions. If i try to cancel editing via "/alfresco" i get follwoing error

Unable to cancel check out of Content Node due to system error:020611876 Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
