Posted on by MSandy 221

Hello,

Hope you are doing good!

We are on 10.0.19 version.

We have a requirement where we need to restrict the Office Excel add-ins (Open in Excel) in all the forms for users to not to allow edit using excel. Could you please guide me how can I achieve this?

    Hi Sandeep,

    "Open in Excel" works via Data enties, and access to data entities is handled by security privileges. So if you don't give your users any data entity duties (or privileges) which contain "Entity" in the name you should be fine. But I'm not sure if there's any global configuration that you could use to disable this functionality completely. And if there were, then most likely also all other OData based integrations might stop working.

    Hi MSandy,

    Remove "Office Integration Power User"  sub role from System User role.
