Creating a Terminations group with the Domino Administrator or Web Administrator

About this task

You may want to create a group for employees who no longer have access to specific servers in your organization. When you are deleting a person from the Domino Directory, you can then add that person's name to a Terminations group that is assigned a group type of Deny List Only. This is particularly useful for preventing terminated employees from accessing servers.

Procedure

1. Create a group named Terminations, for example, and assign it a group type of Deny List Only.

Note:

Groups of the type

Deny List Only

do not have to be named Terminations; assign any name that you choose. The name Terminations is suggested for clarity.

2. From the Domino Administrator or Web Administrator, follow instructions for deleting a user name, but in the Delete Person dialog box, locate the Add deleted user to Deny Access Group field and then click Groups.

3. Continue the delete process as usual, and then click OK.
