I got a question recently how the Preferences link, which resides on the homepage of E-Business Suite and other
framework pages, can be hidden from the users on site level.

There are several ways to accomplish this task. The most easy way is by just changing a profile option which
can be set on Site, Responsibility and User level. The profile option has the name General Preferences Show
Flag. The default value for this is NULL (which means Yes).
Use responsibility System Administrator and navigate to Profile - System and query for the profile option General
Preferences Show Flag.

Set the profile option value on No and save it. Logout and login to see the results.
Another way to do it which involves a little bit more work but gets the thing done also is by changing 2 menu
definitions. Note that changing a menu definition will affect all the responsibilities using that menu (as a menu or
submenu).
The top row of options in the framework pages are generated by either menu ICX_GLOBAL_MENU or
Tip Jar
ICX_STANDARD_GLOBAL_MENU.

Search for ICX_GLOBAL_MENU and uncheck Grant for the Preferences function. Do the same for the
ICX_STANDARD_GLOBAL_MENU. After changing a menu it might be needed to bounce the system to see the
effect.
Have fun implementing one of the options when your customer has this requirement.
