Shared database in Lotus Notes with user accounts

I have a easy and generic question to Lotus Notes. I want to achieve the following configuration:

Multiple users uses one database located on the Notes server. Every user has a Notes client and works on the own replica. But what I need is that only I have permissions to read and edit documents of everyone. The users should have access only to own documents and not documents from other users. I don't want that documents of all users are replicated to the local database of everyone.

How to achieve this? Do you know a good tutorial to this basic configuration? Thank you!

By the way, there is no "Notes server" anymore. About 20 years ago, Lotus renamed the server software to "Domino". – Richard Schwartz
Also, is there a need for the users to work on local replicas? Why not work directly on the server? – Karl-Henry Martinsson

Add a field of type "Readers" and a field of type "Authors" (both computed when composed) to all forms in this database and set value to:

@Author : "[Admin]"

Set access to "Author" for all users with option "Create documents" in database's ACL.

Add a role "[Admin]" in ACL and assign it to yourself.

Set option "Enforce a consistent Access Control List across all replicas" in ACL to make sure that users have the same right on client like on server.
