SECURING


Deploying and updating workstation ECLs

If you create an Admin ECL prior to registering users, that Admin ECL is deployed automatically to user workstations when users run the Notes® setup during install. You can also deploy and maintain ECLs through the use of policies, which allow you to deploy create and deploy ECLs on a group or organizational basis, as well as define the frequency and extent to which workstation ECLs are updated.

About this task
