Mail File Owner Access Problem

Hello Folks,

I am creating a user on Domino Server 6.0.1 through Administrator.

I create this user with “Designer” as Mail File Owner Acees

The user is created and its mail file owner access is set to Designer, aslo the Administrator is added as Manager to this user’s mail file.

This is fine.

I tested this feature by writing a small piece of code using C APIs on R5, which creates a user and the mail file owner access is set perfectlt as described above

But when i use the same code with C libarary for R5 on R6 server, the administrator is not added as manager, only the user is added as designer in mail file owner access.

I used the same code with c libararies for R6 on R6 server, but the same behaviour.

Any hints, on any settings to be done for both (administrator+user) of them to get added to the access control list of the mail file

Any help is more than welcome

If you are using a template for creating mailfiles check the ACL on that template to include the name of the administrator in that ACL within square brackets .

Search in Designer help for “template and ACL”, there will be a topic with subject “CreateFromTemplate method” and in this it says under a section:Usage

the following:

Any bracketed names in the ACL of the existing database with the brackets removed; for example, “[Mary Brackets]” in the existing ACL becomes “Mary Brackets” in the new ACL. No other entries are copied from the existing ACL.
