Note: Lock types have been removed for this API and should be ignored.

Paging

Page size refers to total size of returned objectIds throughout all returned instances. If several Lock instances are returned that does not necessarily mean that instance is complete and more objectIds might be returned for that specific instance in a different page.

Authentication

Requires Authorization header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.

Authorization

User must have imodels_webview permission assigned at the iModel level. If iModel Role permissions at the iModel level are configured, then user must additionally have at least imodels_webview permission assigned at the iTwin level. If permissions at the iModel level are not configured, then user must have imodels_webview permission assigned at the iTwin level.

Alternatively the user should be an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns a given iTwin the iModel belongs to.

For more information please refer to Account Administrator documentation section on Access Control API documentation page.
