Posted on by 135
 Hi, 
 
Is it possible to lock a user role somehow? 
 
I tried to exclude page Roles (9212, List) in permission set but it does not work and user still can change his role. 
 
Thanks in advance

    Hi, hope the following helps.
    Controlling user access to the setups in the Settings menu (Personalize, Design, My Settings, Company information, Assisted setup, Advanced Settings, Admin Center) – No customization
     
     
    Thanks.

    You have 2 options:
     
    Option 1
     
    1. In the users permission, exclude the modify permission from the User Personalization table
     
     
    Option 2
     
    1. Use the design on the user settings window for each role and remove ability to see the role field.
    2. Remove the personalization option on the role to prevent personalization.
     
    Pick which works for you

    Hi Sir,
     
    To prevent a user from changing their role in settings in Business Central, you can assign a profile to the user and restrict their ability to modify it. The profile then determines the user's role center, the home page that users will see when they sign in. The profile does not impact access rights to functionality in Business Central. 

    If you cannot copy an existing profile, you can create a new one manually.

    1. Choose the search icon, enter Profiles(Roles) and then choose the related link.
    2. On the Profiles(Roles) page, choose the New action.
    3. Fill in the fields as necessary.
