The following was requested in Aug2013. Feature ID SDF-54900 was assigned to the request by ServiceDesk support:

We need the ability to limit editing of Asset serial numbers. Potential options to accomplish this could be:

• Configure Serial number field as fixed - not editable
• Admin option in Access Permissions to deny access to edit serial number field for certain User Roles

When new inventory arrives, assets serial numbers are bar code scanned and imported into inventory. Asset serial numbers do not change, therefore this field should not be editable. The ability to editing serial numbers should be limited SDAdmins only.

It is critical that serial numbers do not change in our Asset inventory.
