Read-Only Permissions

Read-only permissions can be set on lines and line fields. These permissions are based upon a condition that contains references to fields in the same line. If a certain condition is met on one field, another field or the whole line can be made read-only.

Note that the current implementation only covers lines and line fields based on a condition evaluated in the same line. It is currently not possible to use BizzStream expressions with header fields, nor is it possible to make a line group read-only.

These are the components of a document, where the Read-only can only be applied to the lines and line fields.

A line can be made read-only as a whole.

A field in a line can be made read-only.

Setting Read-Only Permissions

Please complete the following steps to set the field and line permissions for an Access Group:

1. Open a Document Definition.
2. Expand the Access Groups selection of a Document Definition.
3. Expand an Access group and select the Permissions.
4. Scroll to the section Read-only conditions .
5. Click New.
6. The first column of the grid you can select the line or line field to which the condition applies. (you can only select a line or line field once)
7. In the status column you can add a condition, this condition can only refer to a line field.

Example

The following example makes a line or field read-only when the line field "fieldName" equals "test".

{!fieldName!} <> "test"

Some Notes about the above example:

• When a line is read-only, the line cannot be copied or deleted.
• When a user is part of multiple Access Groups and a read-only condition is valid in one Access Group, but does not exist in the other, the condition is not applied.
• The condition also applies for REST actions if permissions apply.

Operators for conditions
