Modify permission for item record creating without allowing to modify already existing records

Posted on by Community member 4
For the current company I am working at, it is requested that users are allowed to create new items through templates. The same users that are allowed to create new items should not be allowed to modify already existing records. After creating a new permission set and applying this to a test user, I have found out that the modify permission on an item is required to create an item, but this also allows users with these permissions to modify already exisiting item records.
 
Is there a way to seperate the modify permission to the point that users can create new items but not modify already created items?
 
Would something along the lines of UsergroupX CanCreateItems(UserSecurityId: Guid): Boolean; resolve the modify currently existing item record issue, if the modify item permission would be excluded from the user group moving forward?
 
 
The version that is being used is BC 210.
 
With kind regards,

    Hi, I agree with NAV_with_Narang, and the standard code generally inserts the Primary Key first when inserting a record first, and then modify the new record. These two steps generally cannot be separated.
    It is recommended that you consider another solution, such as the one that has already been used and cannot be modified, which would be better.
     
    Hope this can give you some hints.
    Thanks.

    Creating Records = Inserting Data
    Updating Records = Modifying Data
     
    To have modify permissions, you need read permissions. If you don't read you can't modify. If you need inserting permissions, you need modifying permissions. These are all interconnected logically and you can't have 1 without having the other. I do not think so what you're trying to achieve is possible with permission sets.
