Hi, 

I have requirement for editing some field only for three or 4 users.

I know i can use personalization and security filter but it has multiple permission given to user which will overwrite the security filter

how can I achieve this using customization?

:) Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    you can create a boolean field in user setup.
    set it true.
    Then write this trigger onOpen Page

    layout
    {
    area(content)
    {
    group(General)
    {
    field("Name", Rec."Name")
    {

    Editable = CheckEditable; //Assign the value to editable property of field
    }
    }
    }
    }


    trigger OnOpenPage()
    var
    Rec_UserSetup: Record "User Setup";
    begin
    Clear(Rec_UserSetup);
    Rec_UserSetup.Reset();
    Rec_UserSetup.SetRange("User ID", UserId);
    if Rec_UserSetup.FindFirst() then
    CheckEditable:= Rec_UserSetup.AllowEditable // AllowEditable is boolean field in User setup table.
    else CheckEditable:= false;

    Var CheckEditable : Boolean // Global field

    If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much

    More refine code on top of Vaishnavi Joshi

    trigger OnOpenPage()

    var

    Rec_UserSetup: Record "User Setup";

    begin

    Clear(Rec_UserSetup);

    Rec_UserSetup.get(UserId);

    CheckEditable:= Rec_UserSetup.AllowEditable // AllowEditable is boolean field in User setup table.

       end;
