The Workstation Security: Execution Control List dialog box has been updated to include a Refresh button that automatically updates the workstation ECL with settings from the Administration ECL on the user's home server.

When you refresh an ECL, new entries from the Administration ECL are added to the workstation ECL. For entries that exist in both the Administration ECL and the workstation ECL, permissions assigned in the Administration ECL overwrite those assigned in the workstation ECL. Note that you can't remove entries, but you can overwrite entries and essentially undo the permissions previously granted.

For example, if there is a particular person that should not have any permissions, you can add that person to the administration ECL with no permissions. Then, when the updated ECL is distributed, if that person was originally granted some permissions in any users' ECLs, the updated Administration ECL will overwrite the users' ECLs with the updated permissions.

You can use the new Refresh button in place of the previous method that required administrators to create a button with a formula and insert it in a mail message to roll out updated ECLs to users' workstations. This new feature should be particularly useful for MIME-enabled users who lose their active content in mail messages.

To refresh a workstation ECL via the new user interface, perform these steps from a Notes client:

1. Choose File->Preferences->User Preferences.

2. Click Security Preferences.

3. Click Refresh.

4. Click OK.

1. Make sure the Domino Directory with the ECL changes has replicated throughout the domain.

2. Address a memo to users whose ECLs you want to update.

3. Describe the purpose of the memo and instruct the users to do the following:

• Choose File->Preferences->User Preferences.
• Click Security Preferences.
• Click Refresh.
• Click OK.
