OneWorld Xe read only

Hi

Is it possible, to set a user to read only, that he can see everything but he cannot change any value?

Thanks

Jörg

What do you mean by everything ? all menu ?
One thing come up to my mind is you can setup a certain security for this user.

Look into action code security. You can set it up for specific applications, or set a user to "read only" for everything. Consult the OneWorld Xe System Administrator guide, or the book "J.D. Edwards OneWorld, The Complete Reference", published by Osborne.

I've set up users in OneWorld to read only, by assigning them a DB user
which has only read access to the tables in the database (not insert,
delete or update) (ie security at the DB level). It works OK until the
user needs to run a report. Then they need to be able to write a record
in a table (I don't recall which one, where ever Work With Submitted
Jobs searches for entries), or the job cannot be initialised. Remember
though this method is quite indiscriminate - they can see all your
business data. However, using normal application and row security in JDE
you could further secure the data the user can peruse.

Re: RE: OneWorld Xe read only

Can your user with read only rights run reports locally?

With everything I mean menus and apps. No rights for reports, because then he can change status or made updates!
With read only it works well, but for example, he can attach a detailattachments or headerattachment in salesorder.

Hi,

I've made a specific environment "read only" via F00950 (application, action and processing option security).
I made it to *Public/*All and *Public/P98UBE and think this should also be possible or work for a specific user only.
Until now it worked just fine.

Now I have a question about a specific requirement I got ... a few users should be able to start a specific Report.

Has anyone any idea how I can solve my problem ?

If I give them rights for the specific report, than they need also the rights for P98UBE as P986162 as well to be able
to start the report (XE, SP19.1) and to create the concerning output (reprint of invoices). As I do understand the
OW security I than have to take away the rights for all other reports for these users (other users will not be concerned,
cause they will have the *Public rights ... the environment has its own F00950....) by creating a record in F00950 for
each report/user combination.
Cause that will mean a hell of a job, I do hope someone has a more intelligent solution for it.

ThanX in advance for your reply.

HI

You can do it on application... IN the action security for this user define

a User *alll view only security (

Add Delete copy and Change ....No

Select and Scroll to end Yes

This way they user can only do a select and scroll on grid.. but can do nothing else...
This will not work for a UBE though

Jaise

We put the view security at the database level and associated the JDE
account with that database role/id. The reason is that some of the row
exits allow the view only user to delete records or reverse a transaction.
The action security to *all was did not completely make the id view only.
