Help for Lotus Notes 8 (basic configuration) - Securing a blog application

WEB LOGS (BLOGS)

Securing a blog application
When you use the blog template (dominoblog.ntf) to create a blog application, you control access to the blog using an Access Control List (ACL), just as you would any IBM® Lotus® Notes® database or application.

To grant access to anyone who wants to read the blog, specify Reader access for Anonymous access in the ACL.
To control who can add comments to the blog, do one of the following:

The blog application must be signed with a user ID that is allowed to run agents on the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server.

In addition, you can assign these ACL roles that are specific to the blog template:

admin

- Can edit all documents even if not listed as an editor

webadmin - Able to view and use the blog template web client

webcompose - Allowed to submit content through the blog template web client

The ACL can also be used in conjunction with Security Groups so that you can also secure individual documents or categories of documents as well as defining access to the application as a whole.
