Email All Users?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I thought this would be a simple matter to look in the forums - but is there a unviersal command to send to all users in the domino directory?

I’d like an all users group that is ACL limited to a few people. How do people usually do this?

Thanks.

We use some kind of all users group, but we just populated it with smaller groups. :)I don’t really feel the need for a way to address all our users (many different user profiles, many sites and many entries in our NAB which are not real users).

You can just write an agent which will compile a list of all your users. Something like:

SELECT Type = “Group” & ListName = “ALLUSERS”;

FIELD Members := @Name([Canonicalize]; @DbColumn (“”; “”:“”; “($VIMPeople)”; 1));

or with exceptions:

SELECT Type = “Group” & ListName = “ALLUSERS”;

Exceptions = “User1/ORG”:“User2/ORG”;

Members := @DbColumn (“”; “”:“”; “($VIMPeople)”; 1);

Members := @Trim (@Replace (Members; Exceptions; “”));

FIELD Members := @Name([Canonicalize]; Members);

Then set it to run every few hours, then just create an group named ALLUSERS and it will automatically fill itself and stay in sync.

And you can set an ACL very easily: go to the security tab in the document properties, uncheck the Any reader with read access checkbox, add whoever is allowed to use it, and the router will honour this.
