The documentation says that the event has an actionrequested, allowed and a businessobject for the checksecurityeventargs.  All I see is permissioninfo and permissionkey, am I looking at the incorrect event?

I know this is an old thread, but how do I deny an edit or disable edit based on the status of a record not based on security?  In other words, a record is "closed out" and not allowed to be edited anymore by anyone (once again, not a security issue).  I would prefer to just disable the edit button vs the user having to click on edit and then get a message but either way is better than nothing.

I guess I may not understand your environment as this would be something that I would handle in code and just disable any edit actions or when IsDirtyChanged fired (if you are allowing edits without being in edit mode) I would test then, show a message box and then cancel the changes.



But the easiest way would be to just disable the edit if it isn't allowed. The only issue with this is if the Edit is just "disabled" then users will generally wonder why. So I generally try to show some type of message, label, etc. so that they are "clued in" as to why they cannot edit the record.



But like this thread suggests, you can use the CheckSecurity event to prevent editing as well. So all in all there are number of ways to go about this.
