Who can unlock a locked goal

ℹ️Additional information:
- Lock or unlock permissions follow the organizational reporting hierarchy, not goal ownership.
- The goal owner, direct manager, skip-level manager, department admin, and site admin can lock a goal.
- After a goal is locked, only the user who locked it, or a user higher level in the reporting hierarchy, can unlock it. The goal creator cannot unlock a goal locked by a manager or admin at a higher level.
