Edit attribute definitions to set access controls, and
to change the definition.
Before you begin
To edit attribute definitions, you must have modify access
to both the attribute definition and the module it is in. To change
the access rights for attribute definitions, you must have Admin access
to the definition. To change the access rights for attribute values,
you must have Admin access to the value. The module must be open in
exclusive edit mode.
About this task
Use access rights to control who can edit attribute definitions,
and who can edit the values of attribute definitions.
For example,
you might want an attribute to generate history, so that you can track
changes to it. You set access controls on the attribute definition
so that no-one can turn the generate history option off. You might
also want to only let certain people edit the value of the attribute
in the module. You set access controls for the attribute value, so
that only the users you want to edit the value can do so.
