controlling editing of data

[barski]

let's say you have a vendor record returned to the client and within that record you have a "payment terms field". Now, you want both user a and user b to be able to view this field but user b should be the only one with the ability to edit this field.

is there anything similar to the Browsable attribute that could be set to control this? if not what would be considered a "standard" technique for controlling this?

Browsable is a design attribute.

I think you solved the problem for yourself. I don't know how you are displaying the information, but how about checking the relation of the user to the record and then imposing a readonly status on that field if appropriate.
