Transfer Status - Unable to clear all items

prowl65

I have several items that are not able to be cleared from the Transfer Status using the ADMIN account.

The items I am unable to remove are downloads that were tried under other user's accounts.

Anyone have suggestions on how to remove them?

Thanks,

Typically, the only person that can clear the status is the person who started it.

However, the work around for that is to go to the database directly and run the following query:

delete from transferqueue

Also ensure ,if possible, there are not any active transfers at the moment of query execution to avoid unexpected issues.

That worked, thanks.

Shouldnt the local ADMIN user account (not a user with admin rights) override this?

My understanding is as with others here, where only the person who created a task can clear it -- I find this to be a security issue, since a malicious user could trigger a task, then clear the result so that it isn't in a log. The alternative is letting all the completed/failed jobs pile up which makes it a mess to look at and hard to parse through over time.

I would like to see this behaviour changed so that:

1. An administrative user can clear all tasks.

2. User accounts can be configured so that they cannot clear their tasks after completion.
