1. Open the $ServerAccess view.
2. In the NAB, or with the icon selected in your workspace, go to the "View" menu. Then, click "Go To," and hold down control/shift. This allows you to select the hidden view.
3. All Lotus Notes users appear in the view by common name only (as they're listed in the group). However, more commonly, users' full canonical names will be listed, so you must type the full syntax (including cn=) to find them.
4. The list categorizes Lotus Notes users according to name and shows groups in which they're located that can affect Lotus Domino server access. Once you view this, you can remove users accordingly.
