Lookup permissions | Base user cannot change a lookup field?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi everyone!

 

I've run in to an issue with permissions. We have two custom permission levels: Super User and Base User.

 

I created a form which has a lookup for Active Users, but Base Users are unable to select and change the lookup field (greyed out). I attempted to create a separate dropdown with some business rules to change the lookup, but this workaround didn't work due to the permissions issue.

 

I've had a good Google for a solution and looked at the long list of permissions, both with no joy. Does anyone know the permission to allow users to change Lookup fields and save the record?

 

Thank you in advance!

    @SurreyILC Have you tried logging in as both a basic user and a super user? Is/are the column(s) in question disabled for both types of users or only one? Have you verify that it's not a business rule or some javascript on the on form that is disabling the field rather than security? Or has the column been made read-only in the control's properties on the form designer? Or does the column have Column Level Security enabled?
