Write Permission Error in BC

Microsoft recently released update 15.4.41023.41345 to Business Central. I’m not sure if it’s related or not, but one of our clients can no longer send approval requests.

The error message says that “You are not allowed to send notifications. Ask your system administrator to give you permission to do so. Specifically, you need the Write permission for the Sent Notification Entry table.”

Since there was no other recent update on the environment, I suspected that the issue came from the update 15.4.41023.41345.

To fix this, I tried to add an insert permission to the Sent Notification Entry table. However, BC still gave me the same error message.

Looking at the error message, the error actually said ‘Write’ permission, instead of ‘Insert’ permission.

Searching for Write Permission gave me this link.

This method can test for both full write permission and a partial write permission that has been granted with a security filter. A write permission consists of Insert, Delete, and Modify permissions.

WritePermission Method

To fix the error, I need to give the user permission to insert, delete, and modify the table. Sure enough, the user is able to send approval request after I gave the permission.

BC sometimes do not have an easy to understand error message. Be sure to read the error message properly.

Write means Insert + Delete + Modify.
