Re: Set default to Open for Browse in Open member (CTL-Shft-A)

[Robert Rogerson <rrogerson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion Charles.  I (being an outside consultant) was 
surprised that the production source files weren't locked down and only 
editable if checked out and in the development environment.  When I 
mentioned this to the administrator she said that she would add this to 
her list of things to do.

I will confirm this when the authorities have been changed.  But I think 
your suggestion will work.  In order to break large projects down to 
smaller tasks we create a temporary developer for only the task's 
objects.  So if you forget the change your developer id to the temporary 
id and try to edit a member the member always opens in browse mode.  I 
think the same will happen when the authority to the production source 
files is revoked.

Thanks,

Rob
