This locking mechanism is in place to prevent concurrent modifications that could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The profile template identified by &1 is locked by user &2, which means that this user is currently editing or has opened the template for modification.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, causing the lock to persist even after they have stopped working on it.

  Contact the User: If you know who user &2 is, you can reach out to them to ask if they can release the lock.
