Admin needs to unlock files

[tobiasKaminsky]

• admin should see a list of currently locked files
• admin can unlock them
• for privacy reasons only fileId should be shown
  --> this can "easily" found by user via looking at "internal share" link

UI wise a list of file ids is not very nice, so I would say we just have an input for the file id, if showing paths is not feasible
for privacy reasons.

This is currently already possible through occ:

occ files:lock -u 123 admin

I am fine with this, as this should not often needed.

UX question, so I am very interested in @jancborchardt's view on this.

Some additional thoughts: Unlocking files in larger teams is likely something that should rather be possible by specific people, like a team lead who has access to the file anyways e.g. through sharing but also with groupfolders.

I could imagine that we just add a force unlock method for:

• The file owner
• Users who have permissions to manage ACL on groupfolders
• A allow list for a dedicated group of users who are considered to be allowed to manually remove a lock

Might be much more useful than a real admin UI to enter the file id (which is something that an occ command can already do).

I like the sketched out approach and agree this being an easier to use and apply solution also from a customer's organization perspective

@jancborchardt Frontend wise shall we just make this the same unlock menu entry or an additional one e.g. saying "Force unlock"?
