Examples: lockProvisional method (Agent - Java™)

This view action attempts to lock the agent named "Main Agent" for all members of the "Guys" group. Locking is successful if the agent is not yet locked, or the agent is locked but the effective user is a member of Guys. A provisional lock is placed.
