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. |
