Security task/roles to allow users to modify GP Standard reports

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'd like to know what security users need to allow them to modify gp standard reports through Report Writer. ie Enable the modify button when viewing the report on screen.

Thanks

    Thank you I was coming to this conclusion as well and it seems to be what I need to accommodate the client's needs here. I appreciate the input to help me feel confident it is the appropriate recommendation.

    You can add a custom task to a role that would allow a user to do this if you would like. The operation that grants this is the following:

    Product: Microsoft Dynamics GP

    Type: Customization Tools

    Series: Customization Tools

    Report Writer

    Thank you for answering but I should have been more specific that I don't want the user to use the sa username nor do I want to give them Poweruser capabilities. Turns out the role IT Operations Manager                          has a task id ADMIN_SYSTEM_008*        which gives the Report Writer access. So I am going to try assigning that specifically to a regular user and see if it has the desired result. Thanks.

    Modifying reports should have full application access to a GP user. A user with the security role 'POWER USER' or 'sa' user will have access to modify reports in GP.
