Limiting Value List Modification

[effectsguy]

Hi wondering if anyone has run into this issue. I have some log ins with mainly data entry permission. I do not want them to be able to modify the value list, only use them. But if the field set up is set to allow edit in the value list, the person can go in through there and change the value list.

Do I need to turn off the edit function? I want people with full access to be able to edit the value list while in the drop down or pop up menu.

Thanks for the input.

This is a well known isssue. The layout set privilege of allowing editing does trump the Privilege Set bit. In my view this is an error, but that is the way it works.

Change the underlying basis for the value list to the records in a table, rather than using a static list. You can then control who can create or modify those unserlying records, and hence what appears in the value list.
