## Symptoms

- * Remove/Add group object operation through API fails with error:  


  `ERROR - {'code': 'generic_err_object_locked', 'message': 'Requested object with ObjId: [objid] name: [group_object] locked: [Locked for editing by admin_user]', '_action': 'add_host'}`

* In SmartConsole the group object is indeed locked, however Sessions View shows no objects locked for the admin user.

* However the following psql command from Expert mode shows the object is locked:   

  `
  # psql_client cpm postgres -c "SELECT objid, name, dlesession, cpmitable, subquery1.lockingsessionid, subquery1.operation FROM dleobjectderef_data, (SELECT lockedobjid, lockingsessionid, operation FROM locknonos) subquery1 WHERE subquery1.lockedobjid = objid and objid = '[objid]' and not deleted and dlesession >=0;" `   

  \* Replace \[objid\] in the above command with the object ID found in the error logs. The output should be something like this:

  ```
  
           objid       ???? |  name  ?| dlesession | ? cpmitable ?  ?| ?? lockingsessionid ???   | ?? operation 
  --------------------------+---------+------------+-----------------+---------------------------+----------------------+ 
  85c8e0ec-...-ee69b2a837f1 | GRP-OBJ | ?? 12 ?   ?| network_objects | b6bfa425-...-ac58e4d3a45b | CP_LOCK_OPERATION_EDIT 
  85c8e0ec-...-ee69b2a837f1 | GRP-OBJ | ?? 0 ?    ?| network_objects | b6bfa425-...-ac58e4d3a45b | CP_LOCK_OPERATION_EDIT
  ```

## Cause

API service crashed during the previous operation and the object was locked out.
