SolutionSolid Edge Electrical has an option that apply a lock to user account to avoid data corruption in case or random termination/ closure of Solid Edge Electrical application.
Check the option "Enable clear locks on user account" is checked/ unchecked?
If this option is selected, it allow the current user to release locks on their own user account.
CAUTION:
Locks should only be removed from user's accounts and projects when the user is effectively not working on the data, for example, following an unexpected client close down. Removing a lock in other circumstances will cause database corruption and render projects and designs unusable and unrecoverable.
You can find this option under Solid Edge Wiring Design application > Solid Edge > System > System Preferences
