I have run into the problem before when I add a user to a group that is in the ACL and the user does not have access to the DB. However if I add their name it lets them access the DB, also if I reboot the server it seems to work. I later find out that the problem is the $serveracess view needs updated for this to work.
I am now just trying to add a user and assign them the Admin Role, which I also want to assign to myself. I cannot get the server to recognize this role for me or the user. I have tried updating the view, restarted domino server, removing the user and role and creating both of them in the acl and still nothing. When I click on effective access in the ACL it shows the role but no check next to it.
What can I do so that the Server/ACL shows us as having that Role?

I hate to ask the obvious, but are either of you listed in the ACL as individuals without the role?
Subject: RE: ACL and User Roles Problem
We are all listed as individuals in the ACL, not groups in this case, not duplicates either. Pretty cut & dry and clean ACL.

If the role appears when you click Effective Access, then you are assigned to that role. The role would not appear otherwise. It will not show a checkmark next to it on the Effective Access screen.
Subject: That is Normal. The check marks are showing what is granting you your access.
The Role does not grant you access. That the role appears just says that you DO have that role in the database.

Thanks for the response, I did not know that; but I have a formula based on the role that is not working. I know that the formula is good because I created a copy of the DB and changed users, not the forumla.
What am I doing wrong that this changed?
Subject: Did you create the copy on your local machine? Roles will not work locally…
Unless you check off “Enforce a consistant Access Control List accross all replicas” in the ACL. Also, I am not sure what happens when you change User ID locally to test. I don’t think it works.
