SECURITY


Controlling the use of headline monitors
This setting is for IBM® Lotus® Notes® users only. Notes users can set up their headlines to search server databases automatically for items of interest. This setting controls which users can or cannot access this server for headlines.

Note If many users use this feature, server performance may be slow.

For information about headlines, see Lotus Notes 8 Help.

1. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator, click Configuration, and open the Server document.

2. Click the Security tab.

3. In the Server Access section, complete one or both of these fields, and then save the document:
FieldAction
Allowed to use monitorsEnter any of these:
  • Names of specific users and groups.
  • An asterisk (*) followed by a certificate name -- for example, */Sales/East/Acme -- to allow all users certified by a particular certifier to use a monitor.
  • An asterisk (*) followed by a view name -- for example, *($Users) -- to allow all names that appear in a specific view in the Domino Directory to use monitors. Access time is quicker if you specify a group name rather than a view name.
Separate multiple names with commas or semicolons.

The default for this field is * (all users). Leave the field blank to allow no one to use headline monitors.

Not allowed to use monitorsEnter any of these:
  • Names of specific users and groups.
  • An asterisk (*) followed by a certificate name -- for example, */Sales/East/Acme -- to prevent users certified by a particular certifier from using monitors.
  • An asterisk (*) followed by a view name -- for example, *($Users) -- to prevent all names that appear in a specific view in the Domino Directory from using monitors. Access time is quicker if you specify a group name rather than a view name.
Separate multiple names with commas or semicolons.

The default for this field is blank, meaning that no one is restricted from using monitors. Use an asterisk (*) to prevent all users from using monitors.

You can also restrict users from monitoring an individual database.
