  Configuring User Groups within AX 4.0 Reply Contact Hi All, I am fairly new to AX and have been tasked with configuring the user groups Could anyone give me any pointers on where to start. I understand and am able to create a group within a company and domain.  I am also able to assign permissions to a group.  Though it appears to be a huge task - does anyone know of any user group templates I can build on or amend?   Or anyway to configure without going down to the last level or the tree?   Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Greg

You could also change the view of the TREE. Rgds Prakash

I thought you had to set the security through the security tab and then set the menu access through main menu? Please advise - the main menu seems more straight forward and broader - meaning less to amend? Thanks Greg
