I have a Controlled Access Section that I want only the author to be able to edit. My formula for the Controlled Access Section is simply set to a field named OrigAuthor, which is computed when composed to be @Name([CN]; @UserName).
When I create a new document the Controlled Access Section isn’t editable by me, the original author, even though the OrigAuthor field is computed to my name. If I save and reopen the document and double click on the section a dialog pop up shows my [CN] UserName as the only editor, but I still cannot edit the section.
Don’t use @Name([CN]; @Username) for your original author field, or for any other security-related field. Just use @Username. You need the full hierarchical name.
Actually, you need to use the Abbreviated Name for the controlled access section, and then make the section computed or computed for display: i.e. @Name([Abbreviate];AuthorNameField)
Had this problem in R5/R6 cross client platforms, and abbreviated solved it, along with computed for display section access formula that referenced a hidden, computed names field.
