I'm using DMS and I've deleted some of the users, but the document authorization was not removed. Is there a way to clean this up other than going to each document and remove it?
no,
you may use in future a central script to administer all apps and users

What kind of script that we can use in the future? Can elaborate more?
Thanks...
We are using a crosstable (in Excel) with the users on the left side, the application-name on the right and an identifyer, whether the user is allowed to access
Then with a script like
LET sFile = CHR(39) & UPPER(DocumentName) & CHR(39); // current filename in Apostrophs
SECTION ACCESS;
UsersAll: CROSSTABLE (FileName, AccessAllowed) LOAD * FROM ....; // Load entire data
Users: LOAD 'USER' AS ACCESS, UserName WHERE AccessAllowed = 'Y' AND MATCH(FileName, $(sFile)); // Select only users being allowed the access for this particular app.
SECTION APPLICATION;
Typically we have stored the above in a textscript and insert in each application only the line
// ==========================================================Access-Part
$(Include=\\......\qv-security$\QV Access Script.txt);
// ===========================================================Script-Part
edit: we usually use NT-names, which makes the identification even easier.

Thanks for the information. But some of our apps have their own section access as well. Not sure if this will complicate thing further.
Hi,
It is best to try to use groups to manage users. That way you don't have to edit the scripts when users change.
