How to make read only JSPs using access control policies.

[s***@gmail.com]

Can any one in the group point me to some ideas on how to make a view "read
only" in WCS by leveraging access control policies.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Sabrang,

It is not clear to me what you mean by making a view read-only. By
definition a view is read-only, as it only displays existing information.

If what you mean is that you want to prevent the information displayed
in a view to be updated, the answer is that you'll need to control
access to the commands that update the information in question.

For example, if you want to prevent registered customers from updating
their addresses, you'd have to restrict the access to the AddressAdd,
AddressDelete and AddressUpdate commands (and probably also customise
the UserRegistrationAdd and UserRegistratoinUpdate commands).

Information about how to change the access control policies can be found
in the InfoCenter. The topic "Understanding access control" is a good
start if you a green in this area:
