Field Level Security - Locks down field everywhere?

Thanks Mark.

I have to set it up so that a user can only edit one field on the
Part. I was kind of hoping field level security would do the trick,
like it implies. I was basically hoping to limit update on every
field on the table.

I second the request to be able to have field level security on
fields for read and update.

I am trying to setup field level security on the Part table. One of
the fields is PartNum. When I do not allow access to this field, it
appears to lock it down through out Vantage 8.00.11A. Even on the part
tracker screen where a user would use partnum to search by.

Is there anyway around this?

Yes, field level security is database wide. Even your BAQs will run
differently if run by someone with inadequate permissions. As an enhancement,
I would love to have field security allow read access but not update access.

Now you say you want to limit part number, and I'm curious as to why. There
are trackers if you don't want to allow part additions, etc.

Depending on your needs, there is also Process Security.

Finally, you can customize the form to do the security as well.
