Giving a User View-only Access to an mq_view

For cases where you want a user to be able to view information, but not edit it, you can set up an alternate mq_view and view set. For example, this is useful when setting up the Reserve Bookroom "Set defaults" when you need to see the location, itype, collection, and withdr instr mq_views.

To give a user view-only access to an mq_view

1 Create an alternate mq_view with a different security privilege number for the appropriate tables. For example, the location, itype, and collection tables. For location, you can use “rbr_location” as an alternate mq_view that references the location table, but with with no add/edit rights.

For detailed steps, see Creating Alternate Views.

2 Create a view set that maps each of these views to the view-only alternate mq_view you just created.

For detailed steps, see Assigning Alternate Views to View Sets.

3 Assign this view set to the users that need viewing rights but not editing rights.

For detailed steps, see Assigning a View Set to a User.
