Right to delete docs for user with author access only

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

Is there a way to give authors access to delete documents in a database? These users have author access in the ACL but have no delete access to delete documents. I want them to have access to delete the documents that they have created despite having no delete access in the ACL. I have included their names (in canonical format) in and authors field but they can’t delete the documents.

Thanks

There is only two ways;First, that I do recommend, is to set the ACL property “Delete Documents”. They will only be able to delete documents that have their name/group listed in an authorsfield.

The second alternative is to change a value in a hidden field, let’s say “Deleted” and have all views to exclude documents with this value set. Then, create a hidden view that extracts only these “Deleted” documents and have an scheduled agent run once per day (or something like that) to actually delete the documents.
