User not able to edit a Lotus form


A user is not able to edit a form. The user had editor access and i've tried to replicate the issue using a test user and providing the same access as the user, but to no avail. I came across a link which told me that there is something called as additional ACL control in Lotus Administrator. I'm not sure if this actually can influence the editing privileges. I don't think that could be the problem. Anyway, please let me know if you can figure out the problem. Additional info: The user is a part of a distribution list(multipurpose group) and the group has editor access. The default access to the form is Author, with a authors field in the form. The user has 2 names mentioned in the names.nsf person document. An old name and a new name. The required user roles are assigned to the group.

Let me know if you need additional info.


Solution

  • With Editor rights she should be able to edit. Please check her rights by placing a Computed Text with @UserAccess on the form.

    Or if she is using a Notes client she can simply click the "Security" icon in the bottom toolbar of the Notes, near the right corner. It will open a dialog box telling what is her access level to the database.
