Just use an Active Link to set the field to Read Only via the 'Change Field' Action if the user is not in one of the groups that should be able to read it.
By default, set the field to read only, and have the active link set it to read/write if the person is in the group, this way if the active link fails to fire (yes, I've seen this happen), then you are still okay. Additionally, you might want to add a filter, for security reasons, that checks the TR value of that field and the permissions of the user so that you can throw up an error if someone does manage to modify the field that shouldn't be able to. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Caissie Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 2:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: How to make a field read only MODIFY Ok I thought I had this done today but. I am burnt out today. What I am trying to do is make a field read only for everyone except the Help Desk and managers during modify. So this will keep the fields read/write during submit and search. Would it make more sense to just have an error message show when someone not in these groups trying to make a change? The reason I have to do this is we have had some people changing the request to them self's when they think they will get a bad survey.
