AllowEmplIdChg(is_allowed)
Description
By default, the Component Processor does not allow an user to make any changes to a record if a record contains an EMPLID key field, EMPLID is a required field, and its value matches the value of the userâs EMPLID. In some situations, though, such changes are warranted. For example, you would want employees to be able to change information about themselves when entering time sheet data.
The AllowEmplIdChg function enables the user to change records whose key matches the userâs own EMPLID, or prevents the user from changing these records. The function takes a single Boolean parameter that when set to True allows the employee to update their own data. When the parameter is set to False, the employee is prevented from updating this data.
After permission is granted, it stays through the life of the component , not the page. After a user switches to another component, the default value (not being able to make changes) is reapplied.
