Making Top-Level Objects in Forms Read-Only

This topic describes how to make the top-level objects that reside in a form read-only. For example, you can use security logic to modify access in a script without displaying the form where this object resides, or you can disable this form even if the user possesses the permissions to modify an object where a script does the modifications.

To make top-level objects in forms read-only

• Locate, and then modify the following code that resides in the form handler for the top-level object:

  form_helpers.enable_form(ctx.form, modify_access);
  

  where:

  • modify_access contains one of the following values:

    • true. The user can modify values in the form.

    • false. The user cannot modify values in the form.

  The following code sets the value for the modify_access variable:

  var modify_access = ctx.security_descriptor.modify_access();
