Ok, late on Friday afternoon but I am missing something.
I have added a 'test' field security on the VOID button on Purchase Order Entry. Applied to one user in one company.
I have logged out of the system. Restarted and tried to test the system.
Nothing changed.
Administration >> Setup >> Company - Security is on as well as Account Security.
About >> Options window shows that the Field Level Security module is registered
What am I missing - thanks.
Hi Bill
GPPT does not change the way GP Task and Role based Security works. However, it does extend the security model with Deny Based Security. Windows and SQL both have the ability to grant and deny security. Standard GP can only grant. GP Power Tools adds the deny ability on a per user per company basis. So you can use Tasks and Roles to grant access and then use Deny based security to fine tune the settings.
If you have two users with the same tasks and roles, you can deny access from a resource for one of those users WITHOUT having to make duplicates of all the tasks and roles and modify the duplicates.
GPPT also provides many tools to help administer security including, Resource Information, Security Profiler, Security Information, Security Information Resources, Security Log and Security Analyzer windows. It is the best tool for working with GP application level Security available.
It has a free 30 day trial period and is very cheap to purchase a subscription at US$500 a year for one module.
--------------
I suggest that all partners and customers review the benefits presentation so you can see why every GP customer globally should have GP Power Tools: https://www.winthropdc.com/ftp/pub/GPPowerTools_Benefits.ppsx
You can also watch the demonstration videos at https://winthropdc.wordpress.com/gp-power-tools-portal/gp-power-tools-videos/.
To understand what is in each module look at the following posts:
https://winthropdc.wordpress.com/2018/03/05/gppt-gp-power-tools-whats-in-each-module-series/
All sites are going to want the Administrator Tools module. If upgrading, changing server or creating test environments I would suggest that getting the Database Tools module which includes Database Validation which can find and fix many upgrade issues before that cause problems (You should install on the pre upgrade version.). If you want the ability to actively debug, customize GP or write self-help scripts then you should also get the Developer Tools module.
The pricing is on the website, and you can get a quote or place the order using the online form. In summary, the customer pricing for an annual subscription is US$500, US$900, US$1300 (or AU$500, AU$900, AU$1300 plus GST in Australia) for 1, 2 or 3 modules respectively. This is a per system cost and is not affected by the number of users, companies or workstations.
Customers can also just install the code and activate a free 30 day trial period to try out all the features to help you decide on what modules you want.

Thanks for the information and clarification
I will work on this and learn what I have done wrong and how to fix.
I would like to use the GP Power Tools, however, trying to work inside of the client's current install of GP2018 and do not currently have the budget to buy new software. That may change if I encounter more tasks that would be better handled with GP Power Tools
Side note: Does GPPT handle user level security differently than standard GP Security?
Hi Bill
Your FLS Security ID is on the wrong field.
The field Voided is a hidden checkbox field which stores whether the current PO is voided.
The field you need to use is Void Button I.
And because this Void Button is actually hidden and called from the Action Button, you will need to use Password After Mode.
Password Before stops a field getting focus, Password After will stop a script running after the field is changed or button is clicked.
I did a quick test and this worked for me.
If you want much more powerful capabilities with conditional code, you should look at GP Power Tools - Developer Tools module.

Password was added after first shot - but before testing - thanks.
Hi Bill
You need to also create a Password ID with a password.
At the moment your screenshot does not have a password to use.

I think I have tried - Disable Field - Password Field -
Took screen shot without password - added - saved changes - logged out of GP - came back and tested - created PO - saved - left PO screen - came back in and tried to VOID - no issues, not prompted for anything.
What did I miss.
Hi Bill
What mode did you set for Field Level Security?

Sorry, I was not making much sense on Friday - I want to test the VOID button on the Purchase Order entry >> Actions menu.
When I select and build the Field Level Security for that option, I assign to one user, I log that user into GP and the button is still available for use on the menu.
My question - what did I miss when setting up the FLS for that one company and one user.
Hello Bill,
When you are creating the new field you must make sure that the field level security of the field created is set to enabled. This option is available only when creating a new field.

If the answer is helpful, please mark it as suggested.
Thanks,
