Forcing operations with the -f flag
Certain commands support the -f flag, which enables
Helix Server
administrators and superusers to force certain operations unavailable to
ordinary users.
Helix Server
administrators can use this flag with p4 branch,
p4 change, p4 client, p4
job, p4 label, and p4 unlock.
Helix Server
superusers can also use it to override the p4 user
command.
