OK here’s the deal I’ve seen other people post this same problem but there has been no answer to it yet. I just upgraded my 5.0.11 server to R 6.0.1, CF1, and I get the following errors from adminp, when trying to update the server build, or obsolete change requests, or other such similar tasks
Title: XXX File name: d:\notes\data\names.nsf; Error: You are not authorized to perform that operation
The server in question is the administration server of the address book, and adminp, and the server in question is a MANAGER of both databases, and in the case of the address book it’s effective access is “Full access administrator” so why am I getting these errors and how can I make them go away???
Subject: Server Build Won’t Update/Obsolete Change Requests etc. (Possible Bug?)
I figured out the problem in my case, under R5 we had an agent that required an entry in the address book for the server as a “person” document. The agent sent out messages on the server’s behalf, and the person document that listed the servers name gave it a target mail file to dump responses, failed messages, whatever. If I rename this “person” document that contains the servers name, admip works fine, but if I put the “person” document back to reflect the name of the server, admip breaks again. Apparently R6 can not tell the difference from a server as a server, and a person named after a server. This was never a problem under R5, and it worked fine, but now it no longer does. Something to put on your bug fix list I do believe.

I know this answer is a little bit late but maybe it will help someone else.
I had the same configuration (person- AND serverdocument for one server). The solution was to change the user type in the ACL of the directory to “Unspecified”. Then the adminp hat no more problems to change the serverbuild.
