I have a few GI’s that need to be locked down so users cannot reorder the columns or hide columns.  I also would like to prevent them from making filters.  Is it possible to lock them down for certain users so they cannot do these things, yet have the parameter fields still be available to use?

Hi ​@jwaldron46 

I have a few GI’s that need to be locked down so users cannot reorder the columns or hide columns. 

=> You created Access Right to prevent users from using "Edit Generic Inquiry"

 

 

I also would like to prevent them from making filters.

=> Standard Acumatica does not provide a security setting to prevent users from creating or saving filters in a Generic Inquiry. Users who can access the GI can generally use the filtering features available on the grid.

 

Is it possible to lock them down for certain users so they cannot do these things, yet have the parameter fields still be available to use?

=> This feature cannot be locked. However, this feature only works for individual users. This means that if User A hides a column, other users will still see that hidden column.

 

 

Best Regards,

NNT

I understand that.  We want the users to be forced to have the default columns, and not personalize their view of the data.  We have a specific inquiry that all employees are required to read in the default manner and want to lock down so they don’t rearrange, filter, or change the sort of the data grid.
