 How to get Authors & Readers values from a notes document?
Many times we may have faced this issue to find out authors and readers values from a document. If there is lot of security in a document we may have faced this issue.  We usually find the names by searching in database designer and then we look into the document properties for authors and readers.
But we have identified one simple way to find authors and reader values with their field names. So you can easily find security behind the authors and readers.

Please note:

To find authors & readers you don’t need to have manager access to database. You can manage this task with minimum reader access to database.
But be careful, you can only run this scrip. But to create this script you need to have minimum Author access with extra privileges to create ‘Lotus Script/Java agent'  access to database Access control list.
 
Now, please look into code, we have written details description for each line to get more idea for code, so you can customize this for your use.
