Entitlement tracking enhancements

HCL Domino 12.0.1 provides the following enhancements to the Entitlement tracking feature.

LDAP groups are now processed when scanning database ACLs and any users from those groups are included in entitlement tabulation.
The History view in entitlements.nsf includes a Snapshot button. Click this button to generate a document that summarizes the current total number of entitlements by access level, based on current data. Domino runs this same action automatically once per week so that there is a historical record of changes to entitlement.
If the -Default- ACL entry that ships with a Domino system database allows access, that entry is not considered an entitlement and is excluded from processing. For example, Domino help databases ship with -Default- ACL entries that allow Reader access and therefore those -Default- ACL entries are excluded from processing.
