Hello Maximo Experts,

In Assets application, I need to hide the out of the box INSERT button on the toolbar menu for a certain security groups and create for them a custom button. Is there any way to make MAXMENU.VISIBLE=0 for certain security groups only ? Knowing that we have 7.6.1 version.


Thank you.

Hi Oumayma,

There are a few ways I can think of to accomplish this, and it's up to you how you'd like to move forward. I believe you'd be able to set up a signature option for the field if it isn't already configured for one. Then all you would have to do is remove access from security groups that should not see it. Another thought is that you can use Conditional UI. Conditional UI can be more difficult for security groups in the long run, but it is possible to accomplish. They also tend to put a little more strain on the DB. Finally, you could create a duplicate application that doesn't have the insert. Again, this could then be controlled through signature options. This option feels like the most extreme scenario, but would get the job done.

You might even be able to get into Global Data Restrictions, but that is similar with Conditional UI. You'd always have to remember to add to it if you create a new security group that should not have access.

Thank you,

Hello Allan,

Thank you for your response. Actually I simply revoked the INSERT sigoption on the Assets application for the specific security group and created a custom button that runs an automation script that bypasses the access check. And this solution works fine now.
