Help Permission Problem!

Former Member
Former Member
HI, Hope someone can help. We want users to be able to see what is populated in the status field but not change it. When we set the permission to see it but not edit. The word shows as hidden instead of what the status actually is. So for example if we set this status field to employed by another user. I want this user to see its set as employed but I don't want them to be able to edit.

Thanks
Emma

    You need to look at the permissions for your Status Property as well as permissions for the Value List referred to by that property and perhaps even at permissions for the individual values in that list. Users need at least Read permissions for all of those items as well as for the object itself. You could give Read permissions to All Internal Users and Edit permissions to a Named Access Control List - eg. HR Department, if that covers your needs. You can also change permissions to the object or to individual properties as part of the actions in your workflow. Some people may need Edit permissions early in the flow and only Read permissions later on.
    I have attached an image that illustrates permissions for a property. It has Read permissions for All internal and external users - you should probably NOT allow external users to view your property!
