RELATED IDEAS

To be able to select and copy a DB ACL as plain text.

Say you want to share the names of all the people who can grant access to a DB, you go to the ACL, filter by Manager level... and then you have to either manually write down the names or go each by each doing Rename, then copying the name and closing without changing anything.

I think that being able to select users and do ctrl + c or right-click copy directly from a DB ACL using the Notes client it would be a great addition for users, administrators and onsite technicians.

    @Thomas: I sort of agree (entering dozens of user names into an ACL is nonsense), but then again I don't: of course using groups is a proven method and to be preferred over entering single names. But "never change the ACL later on" is just not realistic, esp for long-running and complex workflow applications. Consider situations like:

    • change of group naming schema by administrators (don't laugh: we had those cases!)

    • adding / removing groups due to an application update

    • temporarily removing access for standard users during design updates / migrations (in those cases you'll be very happy to know how to restore the original ACL)

    • QA/QS documentation of effective access at a given time

    • etc.

    I'm aware that we can accomplish all or most of those tasks using various tools (good old design synopsis, copy entire ACL to a different database, best of all use 3rd party tools like Ytria etc.).

    But still: having something like this built-in wouldn't hurt at all. That's why upvoted this idea.

    the better approach is to use a group in the ACL and never change the ACL later on. You cam copy members from the group then
