The database has local access protection and you are not authorized to access it locally

Question

A user with appropriate access control list (ACL) rights receives the following error message when attempting to open a local replica of a Lotus Notes® database: "The database has local access protection and you are not authorized to access it locally."

Answer

To create local replicas that are not encrypted, from the File menu, choose Security --> User Security --> Notes Data --> Databases --> select "Do not locally encrypt" --> click OK, instead of using the default option, "Locally encrypt using".
