Testing custom permission check

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jochem 5

Hi,

My extension has a Assisted Setup wizard to configure some stuff. It requires Read and Modify permissions on "My Table". Those permissions can be set with "My PermissionSet".

I did not like the default "'You do not have the following permissions on TableData MyTable: Read. etc." error, so I made a Step in the NavigatePage wizard to show a nice error message telling the user they need "My PermissionSet". I use Codeunit "User Permissions".HasUserPermissionSetAssigned to check for the permissionSet and this seems to work fine when using the extension.

However, when I try to test this functionality I can't get it to work. In the example below, the LibraryLowerPermissions does not work when manually checking "User Permissions".

Am I missing something in the test? Is this not the right way to implement a manual permissions check?

[Test]
    procedure PermissionTest()
    var
        MyTable: Record MyTable;
    begin
        // Using permissions that do not inlcude SUPER
        LibraryLowerPermissions.SetO365BusFull();
        LibraryLowerPermissions.AddPermissionSet('MY PERMISSIONSET');

        // Default permission check works.
        Assert.IsTrue(MyTable.FindFirst(), '');

        AssertMyTablePermissionset();
    end;

    local procedure AssertMyTablePermissionset()
    var
        AccessControl: Record "Access Control";
        UserPermissions: Codeunit "User Permissions";
        myAppInfo: ModuleInfo;
        UserSecurityId: Guid;
    begin
        NavApp.GetCurrentModuleInfo(myAppInfo);
        UserSecurityId := Database.UserSecurityId();
        // Should be false but is true.
        Assert.IsFalse(UserPermissions.IsSuper(UserSecurityId), '');
        // Should be true but is false.
        Assert.IsTrue(UserPermissions.HasUserPermissionSetAssigned(UserSecurityId, Database.CompanyName(),
                    'MY PERMISSIONSET', AccessControl.Scope::System, myAppInfo.Id), '');
    end;

    Hello  - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.
