    We have Employee Manager Self Service with LSF9 security.  We have set up security so that users cannot change their own information -- they can view it through ESS, but they have to go through our HR department to change or add anything.  This is just the policy we have at the company.  Unfortunately, the users still see the 'Add' and 'Update' buttons in ESS, such as the Add button on the 'Dependents' and 'Certifications' page, or the 'Update' button on the 'Home Address' page.

    Is there any way to hide or remove these buttons?  Can this be done through design studio, or through some other means?

    I realize we have effectively implemented the limitations we want through security, but the fact that buttons are still being displayed seems to be confusing a lot of users...

     

     

    Thanks!

    Mike

      Unlike the portal forms, where the buttons are removed by security changes, the ESS javascript, xml, html, etc., are not changed by security changes. You would have to find the ESS object that renders the page and either remove the button or rename it (in some cases I renamed a button from "Add" or "Update" to "View Only-you do not have access to Add or Update". Of course keep a record of your changes, since they will need to be re-applied with every ESS version update.

        Agree. The only way to hide these buttons is to modify the files in xhrnet and xbnnet. The code you need to find contains "uiButton". You will need to go to the "Manage Bookmarks" and find each URL.
