Hi, after installing a new domino 8 server and copying the databases from our previous server v6 to the new one i’m getting ‘you are not authorised to view this database’ when trying to open or administer the db’s? Any ideas?Thanks
Subject: You are not authoised…
Go back the server from where you have moved the db and check the db’s acl and then check if the new server’s name is present or not and also check if your name is present in the acl or not, if the name is present in the acl of the acl , then you might have to check for the new server who all can create and delete the db’s you can check this on server document–security–at the second half of the page you will see the fields who can create templates, replica’s, delete the db’s…i guess this should be it…
Subject: ACL
This definitely sounds like an ACL issue. The new server/admin name needs to be in the ACL of the databases moved over.
Subject: Thanks for your help, one more problem…
Thanks for the response, i checked the ACL and the new server is definately not in the list, but the problem i have now is that i cannot add an account to the ACL as it says i do not have permission to do so. I also don’t have access to the old server, so would you know how i can override the ACL to allow me to add a new account to the list?Thanks again
Subject: Full Access Administration
Search for Full Access Administration in Domino 8 Administration Help. Enabling this will allow you to override the ACLs. Once you do this, I would recommend adding LocalDomainServers and LocalDomainAdmins to the ACL of all databases, with Manager access. For many databases, you will also want to add the new server’s distinguished name specifically, and make this server the Administration Server for the database.

Subject: Full Admin Access
If you are completly struck and unable to add ACL to any of the db’s and also unable to add acl to names.nsf just to edit the server document, you still have a way…
Go to notes.ini of the server for which you are seeking admin access and add the parameter
Admin=yourname(full notes name with the certifiers), this should give you the admin access.
