CONFIGURING
You add the names of servers to a database ACL in the same way that you add the names of people. The access level given to a server in an ACL determines what, if any, changes that server can replicate to the replica.
Default server groups in an ACL
By default, every database ACL includes the server groups LocalDomainServers and OtherDomainServers.
Access level privileges
For each access level, you can select or deselect these privileges:
For example, to prevent all document deletions made in a database on a particular server from replicating, deselect Delete documents in the ACL entry for the server. Then when users who have "Delete documents" access in the ACL delete documents, the deletions do not replicate.
Furthermore, in a hub-and-spoke configuration, the potential exists for replication back to the hub to affect the following design elements: views, folders, shared columns, and navigators. To prevent the spoke servers from replicating design elements changes to the hub. deselect the privilege Create shared folders/views in the ACL entry for each spoke server.
Table 1. Server access levels from the highest access to the lowest
Note: A database that does not replicate should have at least one server in its ACL to serve as the administration server for the database. This allows the Administration Process on a server to update names in the ACL when names in the organization change.
