Users can browse the widgets catalog and obtain widgets from it, and optionally add widgets to the catalog, provided their Widgets preferences point to the catalog and the catalog ACL settings and widget preferences enable their access.

By default, users will see the My Widgets sidebar panel. They can hide it by selecting File -> Preferences -> Widget and deselecting the Show Widget Toolbar and the My Widgets Sidebar panel option.

Enabling the Show Widget Toolbar and the My Widgets Sidebar panel option allows for full Widgets and Live Text access. The My Widgets sidebar panel and the Widgets menus and toolbar will be visible and the user can create and publish widget components, actions, content types, and recognizers. However, the administrator can use a Domino® administrative policy or Eclipse preferences to control user access to various aspects of Widgets and Live Text functionality, often based on end user or power user type.

Before installing Notes®, the administrator can change the default behavior by using a Domino policy or the install kit's plugin_customization.ini file. These settings can also be changed after install using Domino policy or the installed plugin_customization.ini (for example, install dir\framework\rcp\plugin_customization.ini).

If no Domino policy or plugin_customization.ini file Eclipse preferences are specified, all Widgets and Live Text functionality is available.

Whether users can see the My Widgets sidebar and toolbar or not, they can see and act on Live Text.
