Restrict Attachments to Certain Users/Roles

Summary:

We have a requirement to restrict certain requisition and purchase order attachments to certain users or roles and I was thinking this could be achieved by creating a new Attachment Category and securing it to a custom role.

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

The procurement implementation guide says:

‘In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Attachment Categories task. You can associate roles with categories to restrict user access and actions for an attachment entity. You can also create and manage categories for your own purpose, involving specific attachments with specific security requirements.’

However, I’ve also read on various Customer Connect posts that it is not possible to create new Attachment Categories.
