Help..Lost access to all documents

Hi,

I created an agent to add another user to the reader field in all existing documents of a database.

The append option of modify a field did not seem to work and I tried the replace option and now I too can see no documents.

I can still open the DB on the server and view all docs.

I used the simple actions to modify a field for all docs in database. For a value I used (@Author+“,+@DbManager+”User 1/Domain”;“User 2/Domain”;“User 3/Domain”).

Can someone please help?

FIELD YourReaders := @Author : @DbManager : “U1/Dom” : “U2/Dom” : U3/Dom";Note the ":"s indicating a Append to List

Thanks Bill,

That worked! I’m still not sure why the simple action didn’t work…

Readers and Authors fields must contain either the common name or fully-distinguished canonical name (and you should avoid using common names), so instead of U1/Dom, you need to use CN=U1/O=Dom.

Of course, you should avoid hard-coding usernames into an application at all at all costs, in favor of user roles.
