When I try to edit a locked item via GUI I get an error message which tells me who has locked the item. Trying to edit a locked item via API throws an error saying that the item is locked but I didn’t find a way to see the corresponding user. Did I miss something? Karl

You have to dig deep into the Detail XML on the SoapException.  Errors and restrictions can have parameters on them that give more information.  In this case, the locking user is passed back as one of these parameters.

The restriction codes page in the API documentation lists what parameters you can expect for each restriction.  It also has an example of what the XML looks like.

With your tip I found out how to get the user...
