Access ACL in LotusScript

I am looking for a way in LotusScript to open the ACL of a database that I have a handle to in database class. Similiar to @Command([FileDatabaseACL])

Thanks in advance.

From the help file:

Dim db As New NotesDatabase(“Maputo”, “notefile\none.nsf”)

Dim acl As NotesACL

Dim entry As NotesACLEntry

Set acl = db.ACL

See the NotesACL Class in the designer help for all the properties and methods.

Thanks Greg, but unfortually, I am trying to bring it up to the UI of the user.

Any other ideas?

What kind of information are you trying to bring to the user? You can probably grab the info from the back end, post it to a form, and when they make changes, if any, have it call an agent, that has authority to update what you want them to update. Now, I wouldn’t really do this myself, because I wouldn’t want others without manager approval giving authority or removing authories to someone else on the ACL.

All I am trying to do is bring up the ACL. If they do not have access it will fail. I would like to avoid bringing up the backend and just bring it to the up as if you would go to File-Database-Access Control List.

Thanks again.

You will probably have to go through the .GetEntry .GetNextEntry properties through some sort of loop, and generate the page for you. And display a 'pseudo’acl. and then can get all the ‘setups’ and roles, in the acl.entry piece. I basically think you will have to create this yourself, and that there is nothing automatic about it.

Greg,

Thanks for the assistance. Unfortuately, I was afraid that was the only way of doing it.
