ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Giving additional administrators access to the Web Administrator
You can use the Server document as a convenient way to give additional administrators access to the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Web Administrator. To add an administrator to the Web Administrator database (WEBADMIN.NSF) ACL, simply add the name to either the "Full Access Administrators" or "Administrators" field of the Server document. The HTTP server task routinely synchronizes the names listed in those fields of the Web Server document with those listed on the Web Administration database ACL. Names that are not already listed in the ACL are added with Manager access and all roles. Names that are already listed in the ACL, keep the access granted to them in the ACL. This preserves custom ACL settings, such as limiting the ACL roles of a particular administrator, from being overwritten. It also allows you to restrict administrators from using the Web Administrator, even though they are listed as administrator in the server document. If you delete an administrator's name from the Server document, the name is also deleted from the Web Administrator database ACL automatically at the next synchronization.

You can also give administrators access to the Web Administrator manually by adding them directly to the Domino Web Administrator database ACL. You can give an administrator full or partial access by restricting the roles assigned. The role assigned to an administrator determines which commands are available to the administrator, and which tabs appear in the Web Administrator client. You cannot restrict roles when you add administrator access to the Web Administrator using the Server document. If you add a name using the server document, you must manually restrict access to the web Administrator through the Domino Web Administrator database ACL. To prevent an administrator from access, assign No access in the ACL.
