About file cabinet users
Every file cabinet has a user group that defines who can access the file
cabinet and what tasks users can perform. Users with registered Notes IDs
and registered Web users whose names and passwords are stored in the
Notes Public Name and Address Book can be in the user group.
Non-registered users can also be put into the user group for purposes of
reviewing and approving documents.
The file cabinet user group defines:
Readers — who can read documents, but they cannot create or edit
documents stored in this file cabinet.
Editors — who can create documents and edit documents stored in this file
cabinet, including those created by others.
Managers — who can modify the file cabinet’s security and force document
check-ins.
The file cabinet user group automatically applies to both binders and
documents contained in the file cabinet, but the creator can change access
on a per-binder or per-document basis.
If all users of the file cabinet should have access to all documents within the
file cabinet, the administrator may disable binder security on the file
cabinet. This gives all file cabinet readers and editors access to the binders
in the file cabinet.
About customized file cabinets
The default file cabinet template is filecab.ntf. This template contains design
forms and views used by the file cabinet. If your administrator created a
customized copy of the template, the file cabinet can use the customized
template, rather than the default, when appropriate.
About file cabinet replication
The Domino.Doc server-to-server replication feature lets you keep multiple
copies, called replicas, of a file cabinet on multiple servers. Through replication,
all of the replicas become essentially identical over time. For example,
users in one office can make changes to a file cabinet replica on their server
at the same time that users in another office make changes to a replica of the
same file cabinet on their server. When the servers replicate, each file
cabinet replica is updated with the information from the one on the other
server.
A file cabinet can be created on any library, master or replica. That library
becomes the file cabinet’s ‘home’ server. If a file cabinet is created on a
server where the library is a replica, the destination server becomes the
home server for the file cabinet. If a file cabinet is created on a server where
