Hi, Satish,

Either you can create the Screen Variants for IW38 (use T codes SHD0) and put certain restrictions.

Or Ask your basis guy to withdraw rights to create / change Activity for the Variant form certain users.

The users authorization for object S_ALV_LAYO ALV Standard Layout should be revoked. You may have to change the indicator for the object in SU24 to C/M (check/maintain).

Then in the role you can deactivate the object for the user.
