On Graphical work order based applications to hide the detail menu options on Work Order, Task and Description attributes through Security Groups

There is no ability to hide a detail menu option on Graphical Scheduling, Graphical Assignment, Graphical Work Week and Graphical Scheduling Large Projects. There should be the same ability to choose which actions to expose as there is for any other Maximo application and this should be enabled through Signature Options in Security Groups. It would be useful if the description used kept them together, for example, "Detail menu option - Change Status". This applies to the detail menu (right-click) in the Graphical View or Work View.

The justification for this is that a client may choose to deny the same option in the Work Order Tracking application, but then the user can make the change through the Graphical applications, for example Change Status will not be required if Workflow is being used. Also Maximo Scheduler has a lot of functionality and all the options make it overwhelming, it would be better to introduce the options over time and to add them back as users gain more experience.
