Make a form read only at the table level

[Dev321]

How do I make a form read only at the table level. I went in to make all the fields read only but I was told there is a way to make it read only at the table level. what does that look like?

Hi @Dev321 ,

Navigate to the sys_dictionary table by typing sys_dictionary.LIST in the left navigator and then search for the field name and the table name: ex. If I want to make sys_id field read only, this would be my filter

Open the record and the select the checkbox named "Read Only"

You can also go to the dictionary config of a particular field by right clicking on its label and selecting "configure dictionary"

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark it as correct and helpful

Thanks!

Hi Dev321,

You can do that via an ACL.  To do that:

1. Elevate your role to Security admin. 
2. Go to System Security | Access Control (ACL). 
3. Create a new ACL where the name is your table's name and the operation is Write. 
4. Identify your table and check the Admin Override checkbox. 
5. You can set the role to None.  That will make the table read only for all but your admins.  If others need to be able to have write access, just give them a role that you include in the Roles portion of the definition.

If you are unable to elevate to Security Admin, you'll need someone who has that access to do the setup for you.
