There are so many cases about how to use Column\/View Permission<\/a> in the real world. And this is one story from my customer.<\/p>\n

One of our customer has a “Requests” link in our Help Desk system. The “Status” field should be set default in help desk requests list and read-only when users create new entry in the list. Same time, Status field must be visible to people in “Help desk operators” group.<\/p>\n

Using Column\/View Permission, we provide a solution: set the Status column read-only to all users except members of “Help desk operators” group, and here are the detail steps.<\/p>\n

1. Enter the Column Permission Settings page, and add a permission part.<\/p>\n

2. In Include Users section, specify the users or groups which you want to restrict to access the Status column. Here I specify the Site Collection Users group which contains all the groups and users in the site collection.<\/p>\n

\"CVP-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. The Site Collection Users group may contain the Help desk operators group, so we need to exclude this group in Exclude Users section as following.<\/p>\n

\"CVP-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. In Permission Settings section, click Add Column Permission. And set Status column read-only in New Item Form and Edit Item Form.<\/p>\n

\"CVP-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After configurations, the Status column cannot be accessed in the New Item Form for end-users.<\/p>\n

\"CVP-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Either cannot be edit in the Edit Item Form.<\/p>\n

\"CVP-11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But when members of Help desk operators group create or edit an entry, he\/she can edit the Status column.<\/p>\n
