AX 2012 Security: Working Backwards from transaction to role

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,212

AX 2012:  Can someone please help me work my way backwards in security?  How do I determine which security role includes a certain privilege without hunting and pecking?  Now I have to look through a list of security roles and open each one to look for the privilege I need to give a user.  For example, if I want to identify which roles permit the user to generate a customer invoice, can I start with the privilege and obtain a list of roles that allow one to generate customer invoices?

    Hi Howard,

    If you go to the AOT, You can go to the Security, Privileges node. Then select the node and right mouse click for a pop-up menu. Then choose Add-ins > Security tools > View related security roles. You then get a list of the roles which has the privilege.
