Model permissions change for Domino version 5.0 - 5.2

If you are trying to run a model in a 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 Domino deployment and are seeing some permission issues please note that the permissions have changed for models in these versions. While previous versions of Domino allowed users to run their models as sudo, this has changed for these versions. As such, models that were working in earlier versions of Domino may run into issues after an upgrade. 

This may cause problems with some of the following: 

• Inability to use sudo in a Model run

• File permissions

• Moved from root (uid 0) to 'I have no name' (uid 1000)

• Inability to start services inside Models

Please note that this is fixed in Domino version 5.3. 

If you are still having trouble with your models and would like assistance, please reach out to Domino support and we'll do our best to help
