1) User 1 logs in with admin rights and opens up form1

2) Lock Screen happens due to timeout or pushing F11

3) User 2 logs in with lower rights than User 1

4) Here I want to close form1 so that User 2 has a fresh start with no open screens.

Question:

Is there a way to temporarily provide admin or the last users rights so that open forms can be closed programatically and then return to using User 2's rights?

That said, this isn't what I would recommend to handle the issue of unclosable locked forms. The session locking works the way it does for a reason, namely that users lower privileges should not be able to tamper with the work done by users of higher privileges (including discarding changes made by the administrator). That is why they have the different levels, to prevent one from having access to the other.  As such, if you want to avoid the situation where an administrator logs out, and then a standard users logs in and can't close some open forms, I would recommend enforcing the administrator to save and close their work before logging out, rather than upping the permissions of the standard user to allow them access to explicitly denied forms or functions.
