Make DFF Segment readonly through Security Rules

Goal: Define new DFF segment in Transactions Form and make it read only to Receivables Manager responsibility. All other responsibilities will have access to enter and edit the values and Receivables Manager will have access to only read but not edit and enter the value.

You cannot make DFF segment read-only through personalization but you can restrict users from changing the value in DFF segment through personalization by displaying error message when they try to save the form.
Steps:
1. Define New Segment for DFF in Transactions forms.
2. Define Security Rules
3. Test it.
If you are not familiar with enabling the DFF (Descriptive FlexFields) click here
Define new SEGMENT for DFF in Transactions Form
Navigation: Receivables Manager >> Transactions >> Transactions

click on the box which is enclosed in []

So we have already one segment Available.
DFF that I have in this form is
TitleTransaction Information
ApplicationReceivables
And it has one segment enabled and displayed.

Enter F11 and then fill the information
: Receivables

uncheck the “Freeze Flexfield Definition”

Testing:
To test the changes Navigate to any Receivables Responsibility like US Receivables Manager which has access to Transactions form and query up any record.
Then navigate to DFF and enter some value for ERP DEMO and save the record.
Come back to Receivables Manager responsibility and query up the same transaction which you saved above.
