ACL and calendar view deletions

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I created a shared calendar database a few years back - I believe (can’t remember for sure) I started with a 4.6 mail template and then deleted all the unrelated views / forms. Employees use this shared database to record days off, vacations, trips etc.We are now using a mix of 6.5 and 7 clients.

I recently set the ACL so that a group containing all employees except 2 administrators have reader access (default is no access). The 2 admins have Manager access and can delete documents.

I thought this would take care of it, but I find that employees are able to delete documents from the calendar view. If they right click, the delete option is grayed out, but they are able to select the document and use the delete key to sucessfully delete the document.

In searching the forum, it would appear that these are being created as public documents. Is there an easy way to change that? I am not much into programming, but I do have Designer.

For the Reader access group entry, deselect “Write Public Documents”, that should prevent them from deleting the docs. The option for them to be created as regular notes documents (not public) is a form property located on the security tab “Available to Public Access Users”. With this enabled, a field called $PublicAccess gets created on the doc and is set to “1”. I’ve never tried it but removing this field with an agent may remove the public access but may screw up other stuff. I don’t think I’d mess with it unless absolutely necessary.
