Make attachments DISPLAY ONLY

[Frosty the Coder]

List,

A client wants that their Purchasing group can see, but not modify SO attachments.
They also want that this group cannot modify PO dtl attachments after the PO dtl has reached a certain status.

The client also wants that their Sales group can view, but not modify PO attachments,
and that this group cannot modify SO dtl attachments after the SO dtl has reached a certain status.

Can I make (any) attachments DISPLAY ONLY?
If so, how?

TIA

Gene

Gene,

We've done this sort of thing by adding two exits - one for read-only access and one for edit access. Then use Hyper Exit security to control who has access to which of the buttons. As far as controlling access to attachments based on status, the only way you could possibly do this is via Event Rules on the row/form exit. Check the status and if it isn't in the accepted range, then don't call the media object, or pull it up as read-only. I haven't actually done this last part, but in theory I believe it should work. Good luck!
