How to I provide read-only access for users?
You might want to give some users read-only access to Sales and Fusion Service applications.
For example:
- A service representative must replicate a user's transaction without saving any changes.
- An auditor reviews application data for regulatory reasons but isn't authorized to change anything.
Read-only access is controlled by the Read Only Mode (FND_READ_ONLY_MODE) profile option.
Set the Read Only Mode Profile Option
To enable read-only mode for a user:
- In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
- In the Search section of the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, enter FND_READ_ONLY_MODE in the Profile Option Code field and click Search.
- In the FND_READ_ONLY_MODE: Profile Values section of the page, click the New icon.
- In the new row of the profile values table:
- Set Profile Level to User.
- In the User Name field, search for and select the user.
- Set Profile Value to Enabled to activate read-only access for the selected user.
- Click Save and Close.
When the user next signs in, a page banner reminds the user that read-only mode is in effect. The user can edit values in the application but can't update or save any changes they make.
