SECURING YOUR DATA

Execution security alert
The "Execution Security Alert" dialog box is a warning message. It lets you know that someone has requested an action that he or she is not allowed to execute because of what you specified in your Execution Control List (choose File > Security > User Security (Macintosh OS X users: Notes > Security > User Security), click What Others Do). By default, protected operations for scripts, code, and formulas not specified in the ECL, whether signed or unsigned, cannot execute on your workstation. For example, if someone is trying to open a database that you denied access to, or is not listed in your ECL, this dialog box pops up on your screen.

Note This dialog box may appear multiple times in a row, depending on how many actions need to be executed.

The Execution Security Alert dialog box contains the following information:

The validated IBM® Lotus® Notes® signature of the person who is requesting the action.
The date the action was originally created by the person requesting the action.
The specific action and method the person is requesting.

To find out more information about the design type of the action, the design name, the Note ID, the signature status, and the parent database of the code that caused the security alert, click the "More Info" button.

To close the dialog box, select one of the following:

Do NOT execute the action: choose this option if you want to deny the person access to the action he or she is trying to execute. (You are prompted with this dialog box every time the action is requested by the person.)
Execute the action this one time: choose this option if you want to allow the person access one time only to the action he or she is trying to execute. (You are prompted with this dialog box every time the action is requested by the person.) This option does not modify your ECL.
Trust the signer to execute this action for this Notes session: choose this option to give the person access to perform the action for the duration of the your Notes session, until the you log out of Notes or switch to another Notes ID. This option does not modify your ECL.
Start trusting the signer to execute this action: choose this option if you want to modify your ECL to give the person complete execution access to the action he or she requested. It is recommended that you do not choose this option unless you are absolutely sure you want this action executed every time it is requested.
Note If your administrator restricted your access to modify your ECL, you do not have the option to trust the signer.

For more information regarding the Execution Control List (ECL), refer to Restricting execution access with the Execution Control List, or contact your administrator.
