Address Book

[rezinz28]

Group,

I am not very familiar with Lotus Notes. I am more familiar with Exchange so here is my question.

Recently we have had a rash of contractors start and stop. Is there a way I can hide them from the address book. I know in Exchange it is as easy as opening the user info up and checking a box. Can you do this with Lotus Notes as well? If so how?

Thank you,
Steve Thank You,

Hi,

NO NOT POSSIBLE... Since u r using local address book for storing ur personal contacts and local address book there is no security built in (ie., ACL).

This is for the Address book on the server for the company.

kvnandakumar,

I have some people's accounts that I need to make unavailable in the Address book without remove them from Lotus. Also if I need to put them back in the address book it needs to be easy.
Steve Thank You,

Steve,

A bit unorthodox, but if you want to remove these person docs from your Public NAB with the option of re-instating, you could do the following :-

Create New Database, call it "Temp Public Address Book" tempnames.nsf & base the design on public address book ntf.
Cut & paste the person docs from live NAB to tempnames.nsf

Whilst the person doc is missing, no mail can be delivered.

Then, if the contractor returns, you can copy & paste back.

Don't forget to properly delete person when contractor leaves for definite, to remove all refs to name from server.

Hope this helps.
