Forced Check-in

The Forced Check-in allows users with the related role permissions to forcibly check in a secret that is currently checked out by another user. This is particularly useful in scenarios where a secret is checked out and there is an urgent need for another user to access it, such as when the current user is unable to check it in.

When a user with the Force Check In role permission and ownership of the secret attempts to access it, they will see an option to force the check-in. This action automatically checks the secret out to the owner, allowing them to resolve any issues and perform a standard check-in.

To force check-in a user, checkout from the related secret - see Checking Out Secrets for details.

After that, a user should attempt to check out the same secret being logged in under his/her credentials. On this step, a user will see the Forced Check-in screen and will be able to check in the secret.
