1.3.3 Role-Based Entitlements

The Lotus Notes driver can be configured to use entitlements to manage user accounts and group membership in the Lotus Notes Address Book. When using entitlements, this driver works in conjunction with external services, such as the User Application with workflow provisioning or Role-Based Entitlements, to manage entitlement functionality.

If you want to use the preconfigured entitlements for the Lotus Notes driver and the infrastructure that supports them, you must enable entitlements when you initially create a driver in Designer or in iManager. To do this, answer Yes to the Enable Entitlements question as you import the driver file. The preconfigured policies and rules that support the preconfigured entitlements cannot be imported later without re-creating the driver.

The Notes driver also supports customized entitlements, if there are policies created for the driver to consume.
