    Share24x7,

     

    Can you please elaborate on the behavior being seen by the users?  In SharePoint 2010, if the site collection is locked via the Quota and Lock all users (even admins) would see all ribbon buttons grayed out and every document opened read only.  This would be because of either the site collection being locked or the SQL database being marked read only (via Central Admin).  

     

    One other possibility is to check the drive space on both the SharePoint and SQL server.  If the SQL server ran out of disk space, SharePoint wont be able to write any more data to the database and behaving like its locked.

      Hi

       

      User, have the same issue can't edit any files. 

       

      -open in word and excel with Read-only option (i have attached an image with this reply). 

       

      - a site collection is locked via the Quota and Lock all users (Status of the database showing read-only - NO)

       

      - SQL server has plenty of space on both servers.
