Restricting access to a server's data directory
By default, any Notes® user who can access a server can access the server's entire data directory. You can restrict Notes user access to a server's data directory or a subdirectory of the data directory by defining an access list, or ACL file, for it. ACL files are an option for protecting server directories, and contain the names of users authorized to access those directories.
About this task
In order to use ACL files, you need to set the NOTES.INI variable Enable_ACL_Files=1.
Note: ACL files are different than the access control list (ACLs)
used to manage Notes databases,
although both serve the same function of restricting access to the
directory or database, respectively, they protect.
