Hello,
I have a document which is having Authors and Readers field. User A has a name in both the fields in document. Also he is having Editor access in Database ACL with Create and Delete writes.
Now user is not able to access that document. Message displaying “You are not authorized”.
Please suggest what can be the cause.
Thanks

how is the user’s name displayed in the Readers field? Make sure it shows in canonical format like this:
CN=Mike Smith/OU=SALES/O=ACME

Make sure that you have the readers and authors fields configured to handle multiple values unless you are sure that they will contain only a single name.
Also, if you are creating the fields with an agent, make sure that you set the field types. Otherwise, the fields will not function as readers and authors fields until the document has been refreshed - and only then if the fields in the form are configured properly.

Even if you are sure that the field will only contain one name, make the field multivalue ALWAYS. Just about any user with Author access can add a value to a field regardless of your design, and if the document is saved through the UI after a second value is added and the field does not allow multiple values, it will contain an invalid name.
