Idea:

For work as an administrator and user I would be welcome the opportunity to run the Lotus Notes client with logging in through the normal user ID and same time on the same PC running Lotus Domino Administrator client with be logged via administrator ID.

Comment: Not only admin but also designer would be nice.
You already can setup starting two or more clients for admin tasks with two or more data directories.
Start the client as nlnotes =c:\notes\notes1.ini
And the other as nlnotes =c:\notes\notes2.ini
In the notes1.ini you point one data directory and in the other to the other datadirectory.

Of course this is not supported by IBM.
You also get funny behaviour like opening bookmarks anywhere opens in the last started Notes client. But for admin tasks this is quite useful.

Alas this does not work (anymore) with the designer client since it is eclypse and using another data directory.
If this is possible to start two (or more) eclypse parts that would be nice!

Regards,
Peter

Comment: I use this option, but I think that it wanted official support for this functionality. It would be nice if it started to officially support IBM for all Lotus clients (Notes Designer and Admin)

Comment: As as I submitted here a few years back... when you change location docs and return, all of the open tabs are stored and returned, so you do not miss any work when changing identities.
