I always thought that “Deny Access” was the be-all, end-all. But apparently not. If someone is listed in both the “Full Access Administrators” list and the “Deny Access” list for the server, they will still be able to access the server. The “Full Access Administrators” trumps the “Deny Access” setting.

In a recent project, we were copying databases from one server to another. There were many databases to do, so we decided to write an agent to do the copy. But we wanted copies, not replicas. We found out that the NotesDatabase.CreateCopy method does not copy documents (it only copies the design). We could have used that method, then got a handle to all the documents in the source database and copied them over to the destination database. But instead we used another approach.

Has this ever happened to you: all of a sudden you see thousands of documents that were deleted months ago back in your application. Just about everyone I know who has created an application with local replicas has seen this happen. And everyone who has seen it wants to find out who did it so they can give them 20 lashes with a wet noodle. (Or at least a replication lesson).

What’s the difference?
Well, public views and folders are used by everyone. For a public folder, if a document is placed into the folder then everyone sees the document in the folder (assuming they have reader access to the document).

We were developing a new web site for a customer when we had an odd request – they wanted no Notes access whatsoever to the application. They wanted to force their users to access the application through a web browser. Normally, at least some kind of administrative access would happen through Notes, but that wasn’t even wanted in this case. How did we satisfy this requirement?
The first thing we’ll point out is that experienced Notes users will find a way around anything, so it’s very difficult to make the application 100% inaccessible to Notes. But these tips make it very difficult to access the application through Notes, and will stop 95% or more of the users (novice to intermediate experience levels) from accessing the application through Notes.
