Setting up a database ACL

About this task

Plan the database access for the application before you add users, groups, or servers to a database ACL. After you set up a database ACL, users can click the Effective Access button on the ACL dialog box in the Notes® client to view their level of access to a database.

Note: You can make changes to multiple ACLs on a server through the Multi-ACL Management dialog box in the Administrator Client. You can also edit an ACL for a single database using the File - Database - ACL dialog box in the Notes® client.
