Checking out objects

Before users can edit registered objects, they must be checked out. The workflow is as follows: Check-out the object from the system, make the required edits, and check in the changes to the system.

Checking out an object for the first time creates a copy of the original live version.

* 
NOTE: The changes are only applied to the live enterprise when they are approved by users included in the approval workflow and deployed by users with the Deploy permission.
* 
NOTE: To edit the GPO working copy, users must have the GPMC edit right. If they do not have this right, it will be granted during checkout.

During check in, the edit right will be removed. This ensures that the user does not gain the edit right on the live GPO during the deployment process.

If you have the Modify System-Provided Security right, refrain from modifying the granted Edit right. Allow the system to remove it during the check-in process.

Version information is updated in the system’s history when the object is checked back in. Only one person within the system can check out and work on any object at a given time.

* 
NOTE: If you have all required rights, you can approve and deploy an object from the checked out state and all workflow steps happen automatically.
NOTE: You can view a list of checked out objects in the Checked Out or Checked Out to Me Search Folders in the GPOADmin console.

NOTE: When a GPO is checked out only the settings are maintained — not the GPO links. You can check out multiple GPOs at once.
