Hello all,

it looks like there is no Option to "Limit" Create Permissions other than disallowing or allowing. I have many many occasions where i want a User to for example add Items to an Order Items File via a Portal in the Order File, but dissallow Edit and Create Access when he printed it. I hope i am just blind and cant find that Option, but Access Privileges only seem to allow Yes or No as a Choice for Create, while Edit f.e has Yes, No and Limited. I mean; I understand that the Record Access Priviliges are based on the Record, but still. If a certain Record is locked for editing, one should not be allowed to enter new Data in a Portal on that Record / Layout.

This is bad; I have no choice to deny a Users Create ability based on my preferences other than scripting i guess...

Thanks for a pointer,

Overrider

The "Limited" option uses the current record as the basis for the calc. This doesn't make sense in the situation where you're creating a new record.

I'd recommend using two layouts in the Order file, one for view and one for edit. Navigation scripts can then branch to the correct one based on the status of the order.
