Problem with "Notes error: You cannot update or delete document(s) since you are not listed as an allowable Author for this document"

Hi all,

I'm running an error message I can't understand why it appears : "Notes error: You cannot update or delete document(s) since you are not listed as an allowable Author for this document".

I have a notes document with an Authors field which contains this :

"[role1]"
"[role2]"
"[role3]"
"CN=User NAME/OU=fr/O=MyCompany"

When I open the document as User NAME, I can read it but can't edit it. No error message, nothing happens when I double-click and that's it.
(addendum : this is normal, as ther's some code in QueryModeChange to do this)

When I run an action which comes to modify the document I get this error message.

The action is run from the document (action button) and get the current document from uiworkspace.CurrentDocument.Document.

The document has not been created by User NAME and the Authors field has been formerly updated in its workflow to include User NAME.

Of course User NAME is listed in the ACL (directly, not through a group) with Author right.

No modification of any other document is attempted in this process.

I just can't understand why User NAMe is not recognized as an author of the document as he appears clearly in the Authors field.


Thanks for any help.
Regards
Pascal
