Make DFF Segment Read Only Through Security Rules

The document describes how to make a Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) segment read-only for a specific responsibility through security rules. It involves defining a new DFF segment, creating a value set for it, and then using security rules to exclude the value set for the target responsibility so they can only view and not edit the segment values.
