You may want to maintain multiple admin ECLs to apply to different groups of users. You

Editing the default admin ECL

1. From the IBMŸ LotusŸ DominoŸ Administrator, click the Files tab.

2. From the Servers pane, choose the server to work from.

3. Open the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF).

4. Choose Actions - Edit Administration ECL.

5. (Optional) Select -Default- and then select access options.

6. (Optional) Select -No Signature- and then select access options.

7. To add an entry, click Add, enter the name of a person or server, and then click OK.

1. Enter an asterisk (*) to allow access to all users, even those not listed in the Domino Directory, access.
2. Enter an asterisk (*) followed by a certifier name -- for example, */Acme -- to allow access to users certified by that certifier.
Note Add entries to the ECL even if you want to deny access to a person, group, or organization. Then you can overwrite existing entries in workstation ECLs and essentially undo any trust users have granted. For example, to revoke access previously granted to someone, add that person to the administration ECL, but don't give them any privileges. When the updated administration ECL is distributed, it will overwrite the workstation ECLs with the updated privileges for that person.

Note Removing an entry will not deny access to that entry when existing client ECLs are refreshed. To ensure that this entry no longer has access, leave the entry in the list and instead, remove all rights.

Note It may be better to leave the existing entry and add a new entry with the new name instead. Active content signed with the user's previous name will then still be allowed the same access it had before.

11. Click OK.
