I don't see this option which allows a user to change file's state but not checkin/checkout
The reason I want to do this so once a file is released, I don't want it's checked out/in for any modification. if there needs a modification, file can be changed to different state and checked out for change for next revision
HI Jake, there is a difference in PDM between State permissions and Transition permissions.
State permissions as shown in Thomas's reply above, control what a user or group can/cannot do in a particular workflow state, such as check out etc.
To be able to change the state of a file, you need the Permit permission in the transition between a state and the next one in the workflow.
Hope this makes sense.
Kind regards
Prasad
