Execution Control Alert is the way Lotus Notes checks the execution of protected operations for scripts, code, and formulas not specified in the ECL.
ECL or the Execution Control List stores the list of all who is trusted by you to execute some operation in your workstation.
What does the execution security alert contains:
Who signed it?
When did he sign it?
What action he is trying to do?
Through what command he is trying to do?
Also it allows you chose an action,
- Do NOT execute the action: choose this option if you want to deny the person access to the action he or she is trying to execute. (You are prompted with this dialog box every time the action is requested by the person.)
- Execute the action this one time: choose this option if you want to allow the person access one time only to the action he or she is trying to execute. (You are prompted with this dialog box every time the action is requested by the person.) This option does not modify your ECL.
- Start trusting the signer to execute this action: choose this option if you want to modify your ECL to give the person complete execution access to the action he or she requested. It is recommended that you do not choose this option unless you are absolutely sure you want this action executed every time it is requested.
What happens when you select on ‘Start trusting….”
When you select ‘Start Trusting…’, an entry gets added in the ‘Execution Control List’.
So, Go to ‘File’->’Security’->’User Security’.
This will ask for your password.
User Security dialog box will open. Select ‘What Others Do’ -> ‘Using Workstation’.
You can see a check mark against the action you have allowed.
