Permissions to limit edit access on dimension values from one dimension and read access to the rest

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I'm trying to configure Business Central SAAS to allow selected users to edit only one Dimension (e.g., Department) while keeping all other Dimensions view-only.


I currently have one permission set with three additional permission sets embedded into it:
  1. Base Permission Set: Verified with the only users have no access to dimenions or dimension values tables
  2. Read-Only Permission Set: This permission set gives read access to all users to dimension and dimension values tables
  3. Permission Set (with Security Filter) to allow R/I/M/D on Dept Dimension Values:
    • Read/Insert/Modify/Delete access on table 349
    • Security filter applied on the Department dimension  (Dimension Code = DEPT)
The result is that users can edit dimension values from all dimensions.  It appears to ignore the security filter to allow editing on only the Dept dimension values.
 
Any suggestions on what I'm missing would be appreciated.

    It appears that the other permission sets include the permissions you've disabled.
    Try using Permission Exclusion.
