collective.filteredlocking
Change default Plone behavior in locking documents management: add a new (specific) permission instead of relying onto the modify permission.
Introduction
Plone has a native locking protection given bt the plone.locking module but, as said in the documentation, users able to modify a document can always steal the lock.
How this works
This add-on adds a new different permission for locking: collective.filteredlocking: Can unlock objects.
Users without this permission will be not able to unlock the document until it’s released by the owner or lock expires.
