How to make form field read only for users with certain permissions

We need to make two form fields read only for users with certain permissions. Kindly guide me on how to do this in Infopath. I searched and there is an option to disable to the column, but no option to select user permissions.
Please give your suggestion on this.
thanks.

Hi,
See the link below:
http://info.akgroup.com/blog-0/bid/69277/InfoPath-Restrict-visibility-to-users-in-a-SharePoint-Group
Here you can add the fomatting action on the field to disable the field if those users belong to certain Sharepoint group (does not matter the permission levels though). Hope it helps.

How to make form as read only when another time as user sees it..

Hi All,
I have a form to raise the issue. once the issue is raised it appears in the issue raised reports( that is form on a report )
so all can view this report and click on issue no ..the form with details appear .
but i want to restrict it , by allowing only one up manager to view the form on a report in editable format rest all can just view it .
how can i do this?????????
can any one help me with this ????..
my approach is like this ...
a column called "checked shud be added to issue table , then its values must be set to "raised" when issue is submitted for the very first time..( so it is zero when the end user is submitting it ).
when ( the logged in user =1 up manager or checked!="raised") then
form fields to be displayed as edited
else
form fields need to be read only .
Thanks & Regards,

Nandini,
If you edit any item, you can see a section where you can specify "Read-Only" condition. Here you can write your read-only logic using SQL OR PL/SQL or predefined conditions.

How to Control authorization for users with certain status for level 2 WBS Element

Dear All,
Is there any standard way or enhancement available to control authorization for users with certain status for WBS Element i.e. for example
Pre-requisite:
There is only 2 level of project i.e.
Lev_ WBSE_______Description
1___ 7-14.E_______summay outage controller
2___ 7-14.E.2310__ Plant/unit # 2310
2___ 7-14.E.2310__ Plant/unit # 2220
Project Controller (authorization role assigned "Z_PS_OP7_OTGCON_C") have all project level authorization
Plant/Unit Controller (authorization role assigned "Z_PS_OP7_PLNTOTG_C_2310") have only level 2 authorization with enhancement that we did in system by Z table.
User ID_ Plant #
123345_ 2310
122455_ 2220
Issue:
After System Status released and User Status approved the WBS basic date for Plant/Units should be restricted from updating/changing by Plant/Unit Controller level and only project controller should have this authority.
Solution required:
Can any one tell how to control this scenario either by standard or enhancement available to control authorization

How to make form fields "Clickable"

Hey Guys,
I created a Fillable PDF Form with Form fields using ADOBE Acrobat 9.0 Pro-Ex + LiveCycle Designer for Windows XP.
My question is when you create a form, is there a way to make form fields "clickable" instead of just auto-tab? Because if you mess up when filling out the form, you don't want to have to tab through the whole document just to get back to that spot. How can i fix that?
My other question is, when printing the form, the form field "text boxes" always show up. Is there a way to hide the boxes and just print the form without them. (The information that was filled in will still show, just the outline of the boxes won't?)
Thanks a bunch,
Joseph

Unfortunately I don't know enough about Designer to tell you what you did to make the boxes unclickable, but for me I've never had an issue doing that.
However, I can tell you what you need to do to get rid of the boxes around each of your text fields.
1. In design mode, select the field(s) you wish to get rid of the borders on. (If all you have are text fields, you can press Ctrl+A to select all fields. If not, you can hold down the Ctrl button while left-clicking each field to change all text fields at once.)
2. Open the Object window (Shift+F7 toggles this on and off). Find the option for Appearance.
3. Click the drop down menu next to Appearance and choose none.
4. The borders will now be gone from the text fields.

All USB drives mount as read only for user

I have searched a bunch and thee results I find seem to be irrelevant to my situation. Most relate to a single USB media that is a problem and won't read or write.
On a new Arch install on a new computer (my third base system install). Running Gnome.
All USB mass storage devices mount as read only for the logged in user. Root has write permissions and I can mkdir no problem. It is not an issue with the USB drive itself as this occurs with multiple USB media (I've tested several SD cards on a reader and at least two drives, all the media works correctly on my existing installations)
I'm posting the contents of my /etc/group file in case there's an obvious error there I don't see, and my dmesg output upon plugging in the drive. User name is changed in the group file posted to "archie"
This is a single-user system.

I'm sure I'm just missing something in user management, but I can't find what.

I am also having the same problem. Root can read and write to automounted drives, but my user cannot. I've tried with a variety of drives, I am assuming they are being automounted by root instead of the logged-in user somehow. (I am running x directly, and am not using a display manager, if that has anything to do with it).
When I look at how it is mounted it is as follows:
/dev/sdc1 on /run/media/myuser/drivename type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

How to make a page READ ONLY / all fields are DISABLED ?

Hi all,
I am using ONE page to do ADD/EDIT/DISPLAY data. When users are in DISPLAY mode, I want all fields on the page to be read only / disabled.
How is the best approach to do that ?
(other than going to every fields and set the ReadOnly/Disabled property)
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Hi Xtanto,
My business logic is somewhat different - I don't do this for new/editted rows, but based upon other security. You could certainly set something in your backing bean based upon a user clicking "new" or "edit"

How to make Select List Read only (Keep key Data)

I'd like to make a select list read only when the screen is in maintenance mode because the select list value is part of the key.
However, when I make the select list read only, the update fails because it appears making it disable lose's it's value.
How can I make a select list read only and keep it's value for update.

In HTML Header I have
<script type="text/javascript">
function Disable_List(pthis,hideitem)
if ($x(hideitem).value == 'Y')
{ $x(pthis).disabled = "disabled";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Load_Start()
Disable_Item('P5_SUBCODE','P5_XW_HAS_VALUE');
Disable_List('P5_LTY','P5_XW_HAS_VALUE');
</script>
When I click apply changes, my Validation check that doesn't allow nulls in the "P5_LTY" fires saying the field can't be null. The select list is grayed out and I see the value, but the validation check thinks it's null.

How to make a page read only

Hi all,
Can anyone please help me out on the following issue.
How to make a total page read only, so that he/she can not make any changes. I want the total page read only.
Do we have any functions to do that?
I need to do through peoplecode only because i have to check a condition.
Please help me.
Thank you,
Bye.

Without customizing, this may be accomplished via Permission List Security.
Go to PeopleTools - Security - Permission List
Select the desired Permission List. Click on the Pages tab.
Find the menu and click on "Edit Components" hyperlink.
Find the Component on the List and click on the "Edit Pages" hyperlink.
Click on the Display Only check box for each page in the component you wish Display Only.
If that does not sufice, you may use PeopleCode to set the Field DisplayOnly property to true for those editable fields that you wish not to be.

How to make form field that will highlight text

I have a calendar with several lines of text in each days box (yoga classes with class name and time). I need to create an interactive pdf which I can send to my teachers so they can highlight their availability to teach. I would like for them to be able to click on class times and have those times become highlighted. They could then save this form and send back to me. Please help... seems like it should be fairly easy but I've messed around for two days trying to make it happen with no luck!!

The problem is that form fields don't have an opacity setting, so they're
not very suitable for highlighting text.
Your options are to use a form field (like a button) with a transparent
fill color and a colored border, and then have the border become
transparent when clicked, or back to the color when clicked again, or you
could use a combination of an annotation and a button field. The button
will show/hide the annotation when clicked. The latter will look nicer but
is more complicated to implement.

Make a field read-only after selection made

I have the below code:
var currency = topmostSubform.IFFPage3.Page.Body.rdoDefaultCurrency.rawValue;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboBasicGrossEarningsCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboOvertimeBonusCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboFeesCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboEarnedOtherCurrency.rawValue = currency;
I need the ones =currency to be read only. Is there a way to make them readonly? I dont want them to be able to change the drop down after a master currency is selected.

Use the 'access' property. YourField.access="protected" and YourField.access="open".

Access Database Opens in Read Only for Users

I just moved an Access Database to a new server (from Server 2003 to Server 2012). From the server, using Office 2010, I can open the database without issue but, if a user try's to open the same database from either a shortcut or mapped with Office 2010,
they get the message that the database is Read Only. Did I miss a step in moving the database to the new server? Thanks

Hi,
Did your user get the error message "You are trying to open a read-only database..."? If it was, please try the following method:
On the desktop, double-click My Computer.
Locate the Microsoft Access database that you moved.
Right-click the database name, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, clear the Read-only check box under
Attributes.
Click OK to apply the change.
Open your database in Access.

Hope it's helpful.

Best way to make my WDA read only when user selects from FPM toolbar

Using FPM, we've inserted a custom web dynpro application to maintain our gate dates in PPM 5.0.
When the user presses the Read Only button on the FPM toolbar, what's the best way to turn our fields off? Just create a new attribute in our Component Controller context node and bind it to all the screen fields?

Hallo Robert,
I think it is the best and easy way to realize this.
