You can also write a quick and dirty agent that runs on the server (which must have access) to add an entry to the ACL. Here’s some sample code that adds Administrators to the Log.nsf ACL with manager access… Note that the agent must be signed with the server’s ID to work properly.

Sub Initialize

Dim db As NotesDatabase 

Dim acl As NotesACL

Dim acle As NotesACLEntry



Set db = New NotesDatabase("","log.nsf")

Set acl = db.ACL

Set acle = acl.CreateACLEntry("Administrators", ACLLEVEL_MANAGER)

Call acl.Save

End Sub

Subject: Its an ACL issue

There are some third party tools that can allow you to change the acl of the database from the server console. The server usually have access to do it.

Subject: Built-in new features for Release 6 You are not authorized to access that database

If you are using Release 6, there are many built-in new features Notes/Domino that will help to address this feature. There is an article in Agent FAQ in how to do it with agents and it also covers the general concept of Full Admin which will allow you to do it manually as well.

Agent FAQ is under resource, take a look at “Decoding agents in ND 6”

Note: I would avoid signing agents with the server id (one of the suggestions by a previous posters). It is much better practice to create special id that have powerful functionality. You have better tracking and more control over you system.
