    The document describes how to make a DFF segment read-only for a specific responsibility by defining security rules. It involves: 1. Defining a new DFF segment called "DEMO" in the Transactions form. 2. Creating a value set called "erp_demo" to populate the segment. 3. Defining a security rule called "erpschools" that excludes the Receivables Manager responsibility from editing the segment. The steps are then tested by editing the segment from another responsibility and viewing it read-only from Receivables Manager.

    Make DFF Segment readonly through

    Security Rules
    Goal: Define new DFF segment in Transactions Form and make it read only to
    Receivables Manager responsibility. All other responsibilities will have access to
    enter and edit the values and Receivables Manager will have access to only read but
    not edit and enter the value

    You cannot make DFF segment read-only through personalization but you can restrict
    users from changing the value in DFF segment through personalization by displaying
    error message when they try to save the form.

    Steps:
    1. Define New Segment for DFF in Transactions forms.
