rajeshkumar created the topic: Reopen and revert files in perforce.
If the perforce user access has been removed/blocked from user table and they have so many files opened. There could be two ways to to revert the files.
Problem:
p4 -p server:port -u username -c clientname -H hostname revert //…
Access for user ‘username ‘ has not been enabled by ‘p4 protect’.
p4 -p server:port -u username1 -c clientname -H hostname revert -k //… ( tried using differernt user ‘username’)
//depot/rajesh/file1.txt#none – belongs to user username, not reverted
Solution 1:
So I found one solution for it
another user could take ownership of the files. Here’s an example:
Users ‘rajesh’ and ‘kumar’ have each opened a file in workspace ‘temporary’.
>p4 opened -a //depot/test…
//depot/test.js#3 – edit default change (xtext) by rajesh@temporary
//depot/test2.js#2 – edit default change (text) by kumar@temporary
I use the ‘reopen’ command to change the user:
>p4 -u kumar -c temporary reopen //depot/test…
//depot/test.js#3 – reopened; user kumar
//depot/test2.js#2 – reopened; user kumar
As these changes are now ‘mine’, I can revert them (noting the ‘-k’ flag here):
>p4 -u kumar -c temporary revert -k //depot/test…
//depot/test.js#3 – was edit, cleared
//depot/test2.js#2 – was edit, cleared
Solution 2: Add the missing user for temporary and follow the steps as in problem statement

Problem: One more very interesting scenario where there is no files pending but few files shelved in pending change list.
Answer:
p4 -p server:port -u username client -d -f worksapce_name
Client ‘worksapce_name’ has files shelved; use ‘shelve -df’ to remove them, and then try again.
p4 -p server:port -u username opened -a //… | grep worksapce_name
NONE
p4 -p server:port -c clientname changes -s pending -c workspace_name //…

How to reverts file opened by Perforce user?
To Revert these changes –
This will list down the files and client’s name where the file has been opened.
