No way to give someone unlock permissions other than administrator

Is there no way to give someone the ability to break locks that other users have created than to make them an administrator? I tried the configlocks permission but it seems to do nothing.

We want to extend this ability to a handful of non-administrator users so they can solve these problems when they come up (e.g. someone is out on vacation and has left a file locked).

Hi, I’m afraid that only the server admins can remove the locks (the owner of the lock can also release it). Please feel free to open a feature request (including a bit of context about why this is important in your specific workflow):
