Hi,

as documented in the current limitations section of Lighthouse, it's currently not possible to work with resource locks:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lighthouse/concepts/cross-tenant-management-experience#current-limitations

Currently it's not possible to see resource locks from the Managing Tenant which have been set up in the Customer's context and vice versa.
Even worse, the resource isn't protected from the opposite context!

I think this is a huge, huge design failure within Lighthouse and an essential feature to avoid accidental deletion of resources.

Is Microsoft actively working on this issue?

    This channel is not the best forum for feedback or roadmap questions. I will note that both the provider and recipient/customer can monitor all actions using the Azure Activity log (down to the user-level). It would be fairly simple to setup alerts on deleted resources. In my experience, locks are useful but not used extensively. Also, most changes are reversible and most deletions are "soft deletes" that can also be restored with a support case within a reasonable amount of time.
