I haven’t yet closed Notes to retry this in a new session-
Using Notes 8.0.1 on Windows 2003 Server, I switched the active ID from mine to a test ID. I could still access databases & when I clicked on the security button at the bottom of the client, I got my (not the current users) security information.
Only Notes was running.
The last time I did this, I recorded my screen to document exactly what I was able to do. Unfortunately, the file is 40MB. I will try doing so again and attempt to make the .avi file size manageable.
Anyone else care to try to reproduce this?
OK, just did it again. The recording is <12MB. But no attachments are allowed in this DB. Oh well. I thought it was a good idea.

Hi, just wanted to make you aware of www.jingproject.com, a very nice (and free) tool to capture screenshots or video and upload it automatically to screencast.com - check it out I find it really great.I haven’t looked at the security issue you mention - just wanted to mention the tool.

Subject: standard caching?
Notes caches design and security information even for other users with the same cache.ndk/desktop.ndk. You are always Manager on local databases. I do not see what your real problem is.
press F5 and you will not have this issue or you were accessing local databases where you are manager anyway
Subject: Not standard caching
A few images to clarify.
I switch ID’s to a test ID:
And Notes says the user is still me:
Subject: Is this on a local database ?
If you are testing multiple ID’s on the same Notes session, then you either need to test on Server databases, or ensure that your Local databases have the “Enforce consistent ACL…” flag set.
It’s annoying yes, but the Notes client does not do the same level of access checking as a Server on local databases where any user is deemed to have manager access.
Subject: Enforce consistent ACL is set
Enforce consistent ACL is checked, and yes, it is a local replica.
Regardless, the issue isn’t just that I can open a local DB. After switching IDs, @UserNamesList returns the wrong NotesName, roles, etc. This behavior does not happen on Notes 8.0.1 on Vista.
Subject: Is the database open in designer ?
Are you leaving the database open in the Designed while you switch ID’s in the client ? If so, the original ID still has the database open, and you would see what you are describing.
Make sure all copies are closed in all clients (Client/Designer/Administrator) before switching ID’s.
