Granting Database Roles Access to Menu Items
To grant database roles access to menu items:
- In the Object Navigator, select the menu item.
- Choose Tools | Property Palette.
- In the Property Palette, under the Menu Security
node, double-click the Item Roles property
field to display the Menu Item Roles dialog.
Oracle Forms displays the names of roles with access to the module in the
Roles List. Roles with access to the currently-selected menu item are highlighted;
roles without access are displayed in normal style.
Note: If the List is empty, no roles have been granted access to the menu
module. You must grant roles access to the module before you can assign access
to menu items.
- To grant a role access to the current menu item, use the mouse to select
and deselect roles in the List (deselecting a role revokes an item's access):
- Click to select or deselect (the mouse click is a toggle)
- Shift-click to select more than one contiguous role
- Control-click to deselect a previously-selected role, independent of any
other roles in the List
- Set the Display without Privilege property to specify how Oracle Forms
should display the item to end users who don't have access to the item:
Yes
|
Item will be displayed, but disabled. On most platforms, disabled items
are displayed with reduced contrast (or grayed) to indicate that the item
is unavailable.
|
No
|
Item will be hidden completely.

In order to grant a role access to several menu items simultaneously, select
multiple items by Shift-clicking or Control-clicking in the Object Navigator,
and then set the Menu Item Roles property once for all selected items.
