Sharepoint 2010: prevent users from editing a list in the datasheet view

Hi,
I have a sharepoint 2010 list that I need to prevent users to edit from the datasheet view. This is because I have edited the add item form on sharepoint designer and included some custom code. Moreover, I need to allow the users to view the list in datasheet
view to make use of the datasheet custom filter view feature which is not available in the standard view. So I need users to access the datasheet view of the list in read mode only but be able to edit the list in standard view only. Is this possible? How?
Thanks,
George

Hi.
Maybe this helps...I found some users having the problem that the list WAS read only in datasheet view...this is a list of reasons why this could happen:
Certain columns, such as Created By and Modified, are always read-only. Values for these columns are entered automatically.
The changes you made to the selected row or column have been submitted to the server. If there is no conflict or error, you will be able to edit the row or column after the changes have been saved.
There is an unresolved conflict or error in the selected row or column. Resolve the conflict or error before attempting to edit the selected row or column.
The list is set up to require content approval, and you are viewing the list in the All Items view.
In the My Submissions view of a list that requires content approval, the
Approval Status and Comment column are read-only. Only a user with Manage Lists right can edit these two columns.
Attachments are read-only in a list that requires content approval. You cannot view or edit attachments in any of the views.
The document in the current row has been checked out by a user. You cannot edit the columns in the row until the user checks the document in.
You do not have permission to edit the column or row. Contact the list author for more information.

  • Prevent User from Editing the Credit Limit Field

    Hi
    I would like to find out if there is a way to restrict user that has full authorisation to BP Master Data from changing a specific field on the Master Data.
    The scenario is that we allow an user to edit BP Master Data but would like to prevent the user from changing the credit/committment limit fields as it has financial risk and only managers can do so.
    If there any way within the stand SAP authorization that can achieve this requirement?
    BR,

    Hi Jimmy,
    This would not be achievable through standard authorization.  You may try SP_Transaction_Notification instead.  Search within forum, there are many threads discussing this SP.

  • Is there a way to prevent users from editing their sent items in Outlook 2007, 2010, or 2013?

    Just as the title states. Any help would be great thanks.

    No. If they own the mailbox, they have full access.
    If you are looking to preserve messages, look at journaling or retention policies if this is Exchange.

  • Can SharePoint automatically remove documents from "Followed Documents" list once the document is deleted?

    Hi,
    SharePoint 2013, I followed a document.  It appears in my "Followed Documents" list.  Now someone deleted the document I followed.  I want the item be automatically removed from my "Followed Documents" list.  How to
    do this?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Sindy,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to automatically delete the following documents links after the documents are deleted.
    I tested the same scenario in my environment, and I got the same results as you got.
    It is by design that the links will not be deleted automatically when the documents are deleted.
    We need to click Stop following to clear the links.
    Thanks,

  • How do I prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On the site oldnavyweekly.com there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
    From my analysis it is NOT:
    1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
    2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
    It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?
    Thanks!

    you're welcome.
    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

  • CE10 how to prevent user from view hostrical instance

    hi,
    We are currently using CE10. One of our user used search functionality in enterprise to search for reports start with 'employee' and it came  back with all the crystal reports on the server that  started with employees, even the one the user doesn't have access to.  My greatest concern about this is that users can view historical instance and it is sensitive data.  Does anybody know whether or not this is a bug in CE10?  Is there a patch/fix for this?  Is there any configuration change that I can make to
    prevent users from being able search all the reports on the server rather just their own reports?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    hi,
    I have an EVERYONE group with limited access(view object), and EVERYONE group is added to each folder with NO ACCESS.  If I revoke view object(explicitly denied) privilege from EVERYONE group, do I still need to remove EVERYONE group from each folder?  When I'm at folder level in CMC, I see EVERYONE GROUP added, but when I tried to remove the EVERYONE GROUP, the EVERYONE group is not an option for removal.  What am I missing?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Sales Order - Prevent user from creating more that one schedule line

    Hello,
    Is it possible to prevent users from adding lines (rows) in the schedule line tab of VA01/VA02 ? Our requirement is that one item will have one only schedule line, the quantity cannot be split into different dates.
    Regards,
    Joã

    Hi
    There are 2 schedule lines with different dates for a single line item in a sales order because of forward scheduling done by the system
    System does backward scheduling first and if it fails then it does forward scheduling and that is why you find 2 different schedule lines
    In configuration you can restrict the system to do only backward scheduling and stop after that
    I am not infront of SAP now to tell you exactly where is the configuration available
    I think it is  Logistics execution--delivery scheduling
    But This config is definately available in standard system to avoid 2 or more schedule lines for a single line item in a sales order
    But i am not able to understand what is the business logic for such a requirement because i feel it will create a lot of problems
    with this requirement

  • How do I prevent users from caching their sign in credentials on OWA page

    I am using Forms based authentication and want to prevent users from caching their credentials on the OWA page.
    Is there an easy way?

    Hi,
    Forms-based authentication enables a sign-in page for Outlook Web App that uses a cookie to store a user's encrypted sign-in credentials in the Internet browser. So this authentication method will force to cache their credentials in the Internet
    browser for some time. The workaround is what Willard Martin suggested.

  • Prevent user from selecting quiz answer

    I'm using CP5 and my project is predominantly quiz questions.  Each question allows infinite attempts and uses advanced answer options to 'show' audio feedback for all answers submitted (wrong and correct).
    Also, each quiz has an audio introduction.
    When a user enters a quiz slide, the audio intro plays, but the user is able to submit an answer. If they do this, the audio feedback for the question plays at the same time as the introduction audio. Similarly, if the user submits a wrong answer, then quickly submits another answer, the 2 feedback audios play concurrently.
    So, things are working as I expect them to, but it's not ideal and is a little sloppy if a user doesn't wait for audio to stop before doing their thing.
    Is there a way to prevent users from submitting answers while either the intro to the slide is playing or while another answer feedback is playing?
    I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with advanced actions.
    I also considered putting invisible, dead buttons or captions over the answers that would block a user's click until the audio is done, but there's no way that I know to put anything in front of a quiz object.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Guido,
    please state your specific question in the posting as well, as after quickly reading it I had to stop and read a second time to really get the meaning of it.
    So you want to know how you can prevent change of selection in certain cases:
    For simple validation a client-side javascript would be easy, this way you can even prevent the submit-event from being fired.
    For more complex validation you need the server, right. But I would not use the iterator method for this.
    The "best" place for input validation would be do_handle_data, which is executed before do_handle_event, where you can react on the incoming row-selection-event and the validation result.

  • Is it possible to prevent users from viewing a page in Edit Mode?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to know if it is possible to prevent users from accessing a portal page in Edit Mode. Currently, the users do not have access to any links that take them to edit mode, but if they add &_mode=16 to the end, they view the page in edit mode. Granted, they don't have permissions to add or edit content, but I would like to keep them from seeing this.
    I am using 9.0.4.1
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Jim

    hi jim,
    you cannot really configure this in portal. if somebody manually appends &_mode=16 we display the default edit mode, but fully enforce security. this means that the user cannot see anything he is not allowed to see: like pending items, hidden, expired or deleted items. as you said he also cannot add, edit or delete any items.

  • How to prevent users from running PRC: Transaction Import from WebADI form?

    Hi,
    We are 12.1.3 and trying to create a workflow to approve Project transactions coming through web ADI before they become effective. To this end, we want to prevent users from running the PRC: Transaction Import from the Web ADI.
    I know that if the checkbox Automatically run transaction import is not checked, the program does not run. But we want to hide this checkbox and not allow the possibility that the program could get triggered.
    To this end, we updated the BNE_INTEGRATORS_B with source='C'. This allows you to edit the integrator from Desktop Integration Manager.
    UPDATE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B SET SOURCE ='C' WHERE  INTEGRATOR_CODE ='PAXTTRXB'
    In the 4th step, where the value for Uploader Parameters is set, we have set boolean value to No. These are the fields on the page:
    Parameter Name: bne:import
    Display Name: Start Transaction Upload
    Data Type: Boolean
    Category: Field
    Default Value: Boolean Flag: No
    Description: start Transaction Import Concurrent Request
    Display Options: Displayed: Unchecked
    Display Options: Enabled: Checked
    Display Options: Required: Checked
    Prompt Left: Automatically submit Transaction import
    Display Type: Check Box
    Maximun Size: 100
    Display Size:100
    Now the checkbox is not appearing for the user to check it, But the program is automatically running when you hit Upload in the WebADI. 

    Hi ,
    Try removing the PRC: Transaction Import Program from the request group for the responsibility used by customers to submit the WebADI and then check if the program launches.

  • How to prevent users from saving and emailing intranet documents externally

    Someone in our company needs to upload a pdf to our sharepoint intranet site for internal-only use. How can I prevent users from downloading it and emailing it externally?
    I mean, a user could screenshot it I guess, but I need to give management a due diligence answer.

    You would need to look into a reverse proxy/firewall that had the ability to block access based on content. This isn't something you can accomplish out of the box with SharePoint (even with AD RMS).

    Hi
    DBAs can use PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE (in system schema) to disable certain SQL and SQL*Plus commands in the SQL*Plus environment on a per-user basis. SQL*Plus, not Oracle, enforces this security. DBAs can even restrict access to the GRANT, REVOKE, and SET ROLE commands in order to control users' ability to change their database privileges.
    The PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table enables you to list roles which you do not want users to activate with an application. You can also explicitly disable use of various commands, such as SET ROLE. For example, you could create an entry in the PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table to:

  • Restrict users from editing and deleting not owned items

    Hello guys.
    I'm trying to restrict users from editing and deleting items created by other users. I know, that it can be achieved by using SPList.WriteSecurity parameter, but if I change its value to 2 or 4 - nothing happens... 
    May be there are some list permissions that can override this security setting? I tried to combine permissions in different ways but users either cannot modify any items or can edit/delete all of them... 
    By the way, setting ReadSecurity=2 works as it should work regardless of user permissions...
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I understand that you want to change the write security for the document library. You can try the PowerShell script below:
    $web = Get-SPWeb http://serverURL
    $list = $web.Lists["Document library"]
    $list.ReadSecurity = 2
    $list.WriteSecurity =2
    $list.Update()
    $web.Dispose()
    This setting will not affect the site collection administrator, he will always be able to edit the documents. You need to sue another account to have a test. If this still doesn't work, I think you need to manually edit the permission for each documents.
