Not able to edit document using Authors field

Hi,

I have the manager access right for a database. Then i create a document using Form1. The form has a computed Authors field with formula @UserName.

But I have a user with Author access right can not edit the document. I just wonder the formula in the Author field is not correct?

Can someone tell me ? I really have no idea. Thanks

The two most common problems in this scenario are:

  1. You didn’t use canonicalized names, or,

  2. You didn’t set the multiple values flag on the field.

Now, your problem might be something different, but those seem to account for the lion’s share of such problems.

I work on server copy.

I confirmed that i have checked the multivalue box and not using the CN name

Ofcourse that user will NOT be able to edit a document created by you since the Authors field contains your name.

He will only be able to edit if :

  1. His name is listed in the Authors field

  2. Has Editor access or above in the ACL.

cheers !!

Just to clarify, I presume Ashish meant if one OR the other condition was true, not if both were true.
