Match-IT’s security system allows any field to be set as read/write, read-only, or not-visible on a per user group basis. The example below will make the Industry field read-only on the customer/supplier form for certain users.
Proceed as follows:-
Right-click on the Industry field.
In the popup that is shown, select Set field/button access.
The Field Access Privileges form opens and in so doing creates the default security record for that field.
Close the form.
Now open the detail record for a user and select the Privilegs tab.
Select New, the Access Control Override form opens.
Check Field in the This Object group.
Select the ellipsis (…) next to Field, the Select Field form opens.
Scroll down the list to find the field you want to control (File csh and Field Industry in this case)
Select the field.
Back in the Access Control Override form, check Deny Insert Change/Edit and Delete Access.
Select Save and Close.
Back in the user form, the setting will show in the user specific Access Privileges list.
Repeat for other users. It’s quicker than it sounds!
Those users will now be able to see the field but not change it.
