Labels: menus, query only, read only, responsibility view only, view only responsibility
a. Navigation is : Application Function Form Parameter
b. The function becomes read only
4. Create a new menu with these read only functions
5. Assign the new menu to the new responsibility
6. Assign the new responsibility to users who can have only read access
Solution 2
1. Create a Database user rd_user
2. Grant all the objects/ synonyms from apps to rd_user
3. Create synonym for all the apps objects in rd_user
4. In Oracle apps, register the user rd_user as a user and datagroup
which is similar to apps
5. Create responsibility similar to apps but attach rd_user datagroup
What if the user has 50 responsibilities? It consumes a lot of time in creating the
functions, menus and finally adding relevant profiles to the responsibility. There
is another simpler way to make all the responsibilities of a user as read-only.
