Allow edit specific field

Posted on by Robert Paul Policarpio 112

Hi Guys,

Just want to know how to allow one field to edit via role or x++ code.

I have a Form1 with 3 datasource on it. Those datasource is set AllowEdit property as "No".

Now, I want to create new role allowing specific user to edit 1 field only per datasource.

I tried to create Privilege containing:

Entry points AccessLevel = Read

Permissions > Tables > Fields > Coupon = EffectiveAccess = Update

Forms > MyForm > MyFieldForm > EffectiveAccess = Update && DefaultAccess = Update

Unfortunately, its not working. 

I need help guys, thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

r0bert

    If the data source property AllowEdit is no, nobody can edit it. You can't use the security roles to bypass such setting.

    Instead you should set AllowEdit to yes and use security roles to prevent unwanted users from changing the data.

    Hi,

    You can follow the link, where the example is shown for restricting a button access, similar way you can do for the particular field by setting the Needed permission property in the form control level. And then add the control the form permission node and don't any access in the form node permission. Instead you can set the permission in the privilege level.
