How to change who can edit a form but still have administrative access

[Lex Baldridge]

Good morning,

I am currently creating a team managed business project for my company. I want to give the managers admin access however I do not want them to be able to edit the form. Is there a way to set this up in access or another way?

Hi @Lex Baldridge ,

To create, edit or delete a form, users must have project admin permissions > as stated here: How to create, edit, save, and delete forms 

Now, there isn't a separate permission for creating and editing forms so if you give those users admin access, they will be able to edit forms.

If possible, you could assign managers the "Member" role if you want them to have broad access to work items but not to project settings or forms. However, this would also limit their ability to perform other admin tasks.

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Lex Baldridge 

No this can't be prohibited, just don't grant then admin access to the project.

Or even better, use a company managed project. permissions are more granular to be set.

But the admin role on a project can still handle edits to the forms (screens, layout)

Why do they need admin access?

I will be leaving so I wanted to make sure that a manager could run the board and edit rules if necessary. Please let me know the best way to go about this.

Use a company managed project.

Then you cold make a manger board admin, do this isn the general settings of the board.

This can't be done on a Team managed project.

You don’t need to use JCL if you’re just learning COBOL on your own computer.

If you're using VSCode, the easiest way to get started is to install GnuCOBOL, a free and open-source COBOL compiler. Once installed, you can compile and run your COBOL programs using the terminal, without any need for JCL.

Also, install the COBOL Language Support extension in VSCode for syntax highlighting and helpful features.

To run a program, just open your terminal in VSCode and type:

cobc -x yourfile.cob
./yourfile


This will compile and run your COBOL program locally.
JCL is only needed if you’re working on a mainframe (like IBM z/OS). For local development, it’s not required at all.

Let me know if you need help with the setup on Windows, Mac, or Linux!
