OFBTOOLS_VIEW in OrderSecurityData.xml

[BJ Freeman]

I note that practically every security level has the OFBTOOLS_VIEW.
to better emulate a real situation, should this only be at the manager
level?

That permission enables viewing the OOTB components. The concept is to exclude the permission from
custom apps so that you don't accidently give someone permission to use an OOTB app by giving them
permission to use an existing resource.

The WEBTOOLS_VIEW permission grants access to the Webtools component. It's confusing, I know.

If you Google OFBTOOLS you'll find additional information about how it's used.
