Area Manager Question/Issue

Post by TeslaTrouble
I am an Area Manager for a region. I saw a request to correct an incorrect routing south of Mojave, CA. When I go to the edit page, that section of roadways is completely locked and I can not affect any changes.

Any ideas?

That suggests that you are not an area manager in that location.

In fact, your AM area ends a few miles to the north. If you drive near this location, you will be able to edit it.

The segment linked to is not locked, last editing by a 0-level editor. I could lock it and be a jerk. But I won't. :ugeek:

As an Area Manager, you will be able to override the locked segment check box as long as the segment you are trying to change is in the area that you 'manage'.

I didn't actually see which segment was selected when clicking on the Permalink.

We know you won't be a jerk :D
