We can view the access level of workflow as follows:
§ In Oracle Workflow Builder, select About Workflow from the Help menu.
If you are going to run the Workflow Definitions
Loader program, check the value for the environment variable WF_ACCESS_LEVEL on
your workflow server.

The protection level that you set for an object is
dependent on your current access level. You can control access to an object in
one of four ways:
Note: All tables assume that the user setting the options has an access level
of 100.
§ Allow access to everyone:-
By default, all users are allowed access to an
object if both "Preserve Customizations' and 'Lock at this Access Level'
are unchecked in the Access tab, that is the protection level is equal to
1000.

Levels Allowed to Modify the Object

1000
|
Object may be updated by any access level
(0-1000).
|
§
Limit access to users with access levels
equal to your own or higher :-
If you check 'Preserve Customizations' in the Options region of the
Access tab, you designate the object as being customizable by anyone with an
access level equal to or higher than your current access level. You should only
mark objects as customizable if you are sure that you will not be providing
upgraded versions of this object in the future that would overwrite other
user's customizations to it.

Object may only be updated by access levels
from 100-1000. If, the "Allow modifications of customized objects"
checkbox is checked, customized objects can also be updated by access levels
0-99, as represented by red crosshatches in the indicator bar.
|
§
Limit access to users with
access levels equal to your own or lower:-
If you check 'Lock at this Access Level', you protect the object and
ensure that the object may only be modified by users with an access level equal
to or lower than your current access level. Users operating at a higher access
level will see a small lock on the workflow object's icon, indicating that the
object can be used but not modified. Protect any objects that you want to
define as standard components that will not change unless you provide a global
upgrade. For this reason, it is important that you always operate at the same
consistent access level.
