It may need more access to the DB, depending.

What *else* is in the DB? If it's something that you want to keep, then the issue is likely to get tougher.

The least intrusive way to get access is to set up a group in the Address Book, "Admin", and put yourself in it. The group can be an alias to your admin group as well. If the readers field is indeed properly formed then anyone in the group could read the doc.

You'd need increasingly higher access to the server to get control by other means. I believe you could get server administrator role and it'd allow you to promote yourself into seeing the document. But the group method would probably give you the most "normal" entree to the document.
