SECURING YOUR DATA
By default, protected operations for scripts, code, and formulas not specified in the Execution Control List (ECL), whether signed or unsigned, cannot execute on your workstation without displaying the Execution security alert dialog box. However, scripts and formulas run from any database created from a template that ships with NotesR and signed by "Lotus Notes Template Development/Lotus Notes." This signature has full execution access by default, but its entry in the ECL can be modified and restricted.
Note: To view a history or your Execution Security AlertsR and ECL modifications that have been made, refer to the Miscellaneous view in the Notes Log (log.nsf).
Click any of these topics:
If your administrator has not restricted your access to change your ECL, you can modify your own ECL so that you can limit access to your workstation. You can restrict or expand access to signed LotusScriptR, Java™ applets, and JavaScript™ applications. For more information on the access options that are available, see ECL security access options.
Note: The administrator's ability to update your ECL is controlled by the ECL itself. If you have "Modify your Execution Control List" deselected in the What Others Do > Using Workstation section of User Security, the administrator's dynamic update will cause an Execution Security Alert. If you do not accept this ECL update, the action the administrator is trying to change in the ECL will not be modified. See your administrator for details.
