How to remove "Configure Choices" option for all users

[jay1111]

Hi Experts,

Can anyone please suggest on how to remove access for "Configure Choices" option for all users on fields like state, approval and stage(all choice fields). All users getting access to "Configure Choices" option, when user right click on choice fields. I have checked the create/write ACLs on sys_choice table, only OOTB "personalize" role have access for it and no user have this role.

See the attached screen shot for detail.

Thanks,

Jay

Is the OOB ACL for *.* of operation personalize_choices still active on your instance? That ACL would restrict users to only the specific role for personalization for all tables. It should be the only ACL with operation=personalize_choices.

This ACL is not active in our instance. Do we need to make it Active?

Thanks,

Well, that would be the reason why all users have the ability to configure those choices (personalize them) - so I expect you would want to have that ACL as active. Without understanding why it was set as inactive, however, it's difficult to advise you on the correct course to take. Out of the box that is an active ACL, so I would tend towards activating it and then waiting to see what, if any, issues arise (who complains) so that you can discuss the requirements properly.

This ACLs set to false in 2016 by old employee. It came to my attention now, because a user removed some drop-down values on state field and it cause too many errors on existing records.

I appreciate your help, thanks a lot.
