Issue:
"Access level of users for the library cannot be updated as it is controlled by Domino.Doc."
or
"ACL could not be updated - Object Variable Not Set" when inviting users to a file cabinet.


Possible Solutions:
1. This can happen if you are not listed in the ACL as a Domino.Doc adminstrator by explicit name, thus group access can fail. If you give yourself explicit access, things should work as expected. (group cache issue)

2. There are two fields in the Library system profile for who can administer and who can create cabinets or document/binder types. Check this via:
Library --> Library Administration button --> System Profile

3. If you see this error message with "Domino.Doc Users for -LibraryName- ..." then this issue could be a recursive group issue. Lotus Technote #1095968/#177724 contains:
"Domino.Doc Users for <<Library name>>" is one of the standard Domino.Doc group names that are created when the Library is created. All groups and users invited to any file cabinet are automatically added to this "Domino.Doc Users for <<Library name>>" group. Therefore, since adding the group name to itself would be recursive, this operation is not allowed. To avoid the error, select a different group name, not one of the standard Domino.Doc group names.

4. You have an issue with your name not being listed as a file cabinet manager or a duplicate group. See the technote #1103106 from the IBM Lotus support site.

5. If you just set up this Library, it could be a view index issue. Update the view index. If the Administrative Server for the domain is a different server, you could have added a member to that administrative server but the addition has not replicated. Update the view index and press the update cache button in the invite users dialog/window.
