    Change the Security Group settings.

    If your people are not in Security Groups, you should look into using these.

    Imagine you have 40 electricians, and they are all in the Electrician Security Group. You make the read only change once to the Electrician Security Group. Now all 40 of the electricians automatically receive the read only permission change.

    I agree with Kendall in a sense that if users only have read only access, why allow them in the system?  It would also potentially overload the administrators with data input when many administrators have other roles outside of the system.  However, not everyone is the same understandably.  In the security settings you can give read access to each group for each application.  Really, if these groups only have read only, easiest to do is have two groups.  MAXADMIN and EVERYONE else.  

    As Kendall mentioned, if you create a security group of Electricians, the change to read only is just one action.  All personnel in that security group now is restricted from any function other than read only.  What version are you working?

    Make sure you change the settings to each security group for each application users have access to.  So it will be a bit time consuming however not knowing your version and the amount of applications you have is a bit difficult to steer you in the direction you need to go.

    If you access to DB and Websphere then the simplest way to achieve this is by running the below steps:

    1. Stop Application Server

    2. Delete from applicationauth where groupname not in ('MAXADMIN','MXINTADM') and optionname !='READ';

    3. Start application Server

    Highly recommended to test this in Lower environment before running this on PROD.

    Hi @Trisha S!

    This query will give you a list of security groups that have active users who are not in MAXADMIN group. Then, from those groups, it will look for applications with INSERT, SAVE, and DELETE sigoptions.

     
    What you should do is look in those Maximo security groups, in those applications and eliminate the check marks that are not READ.
     

    select groupname, app, optionname from maximo.applicationauth where optionname in ('SAVE', 'INSERT', 'DELETE') 
    and groupname in (select groupname from maximo.groupuser where groupname not in ('MAXADMIN') and userid in (select userid from maximo.maxuser where status = 'ACTIVE')) order by groupname, app, optionname

    Regards!
