• ban editing

    By r e messier 2 decades ago

    Is there any way to make a particular view viewable but not editable by a user? I have a new view showing the Annual leave allowances in a separate window for a team to see the whole group, but I dont want them to be able to edit it. I tried hiding the edit button but you can still double click the view and get in edit mode… any hints?

    • Check the ACL to Insure Author Access

      Hi Ryan,



      Thanks for your interest in Vacation Request!



      Normal Leave requestors should have Author access as defined in the ACL. If they do then they cannot edit documents that they did not author. Annual Leave Allowances should be created by the application administrator. So, the visibility of an Edit button might be annoying but not detrimental.



      If you are referring to Leave Request approvers that you do not want to edit allowances, then you have a much more difficult problem since during the approval process the Requestor’s allowance document must be updated and the approver’s identity is in use at that time.







      HTH,
