Agent Server Document Settings

The capabilities of agents and the way that agent security is handled has been significantly updated in Domino/Notes 6. Implemented in R6, agents can now

• Access remote servers— Servers who have specifically granted access to one another in the “Trusted Servers” field of the server document can have agents access information on the other server.

• Save other agents— Agents can programmatically modify, enable, disable, and save other agents located on the same server.

• Allow users with editor access to run LotusScript and Java agents— Agents can be set up to enable users with Editor access to activate agents.

• Run on behalf of someone else— Agents can be set to run with the authority of a specified user.

• Set restricted/unrestricted rights for each specific agent— If the designer (agent signer) has unrestricted agent access for the current server, he/she can set agent-specific access to not allow restricted operations, allow restricted operations, or allow restricted operations with full administration rights. By default, agents are set to not allow restricted operations.
