Override a reservation or replace a reserved file

We have a problem where there is a reserved file, but the individual is no longer available nor working on the project.
This is a hierarchical design, so there are components that need to update to the latest version, but we cannot do this because the combined design is reserved.
As admin i would like to override this. Either manually remove the reservation or replace the file in the hierarch with a copy of the design.
I already tried toggling the admin setting for "collaboration" "Design reservation" which suggested it would remove any existing reservations, but it did not seem to take. Was there another step needed after turning this off and on?
Is there another work-around that would let me replace the file(s) in the hierarchy with out completely rebuilding (copy/replace. rename)?

OK well i resolved my issue, but i'm sorry to say i changed 3 things at once, so i don't know which one was the root cause:
- toggled design reservation off in the admin tab, then closed my fusion session

- changed the role of the collaborator to "read only"

- Once i noticed/found the user list i "deactivated" them as well

Upon restarting Fusion session the reservation under that user was removed.

Where can you find the admin tab?
