Miscellaneous Permissions - Financials
The miscellaneous permissions associated with Financials are divided into two parts: Apply Restrictions - Transactions, and Apply Restrictions - Static Data Maintenance. In both cases, you can control how the data access groups that are assigned to accounts and journal types affect this operator group.
The permissions or restrictions are applied to individual accounts and journal types by assigning Data Access Groups (DAG) to them in Chart of Accounts (COA) and Journal Type Setup (JNT) respectively.

You can apply restrictions to Update without necessarily applying restrictions to View. However, the reverse is not true. If you apply restrictions to View you must also apply restrictions to Update. This is because you cannot modify the details of an static data record without first viewing that record. For example, to update an account you must first access its account code and view the record in Chart of Accounts (COA), so restricting the ability to view the account therefore necessarily means restricting the ability to update it.
