The execution control list or ECL

An execution control list (ECL) to set up workstation data security. An ECL protects user workstations against unknown or suspect sources, and can be configured to limit the action of any active content that does run on workstations. The ECL determines whether the signer of the code is allowed to run the code on a given workstation, and defines the access that the code has to various workstation functions.
There are two kinds of ECLs: the Administration ECL, which resides in the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF), and the workstation ECL, which is stored in the user's Personal Address Book (NAMES.NSF). The Administration ECL is the template for all workstation ECLs. The workstation ECL is created when the Notes client is first installed. The Setup program copies the administration ECL from the Domino Directory to the Notes client to create the workstation ECL.
