In Navision 2018, under Permission functions . What does the function means?

Posted on by 4,222

Hi,

I would like to find out. What does Indirect means?

Also I note that there is only a "Yes", there is no "No".

What does empty fills means? Is the blank means by default "No"?

    Hello,

    Hope the below helps which comes from our standard docs.

    You can give users access to an object, but only through another object. This is called giving "Indirect" permission. For example, a user can have permission to run codeunit 80, Sales-Post. The Sales-Post codeunit performs many tasks, including modifying table 37, Sales Line. When the user posts a sales document by using the Sales-Post codeunit, Business Central checks whether the user has permission to modify the Sales Line table. If not, the codeunit cannot complete its tasks, and the user receives an error message. If so, the codeunit runs successfully.

    However, the user does not need full access to the Sales Line table to run the codeunit. If the user has Indirect permission for the Sales Line table, then the Sales-Post codeunit runs successfully. When a user has Indirect permission, that user can only modify the Sales Line table by running the Sales-Post codeunit or another object that has permission to modify the Sales Line table. The user can only modify the Sales Line table when doing so from supported application areas. The user cannot run the feature inadvertently or maliciously by other methods.

    The following table illustrates how the Permission property works with the permissions granted to an object by the license or a permission set. The table shows the runtime results when the Permission property is set and when it isn't.

    EXAMPLE - INDIRECT PERMISSION
    Permissions granted by permission set Permission property not set Permission property set
    None Runtime error caused by missing permissions. Runtime error caused by missing permissions.
    Indirect permission Runtime error caused by missing permissions. Success
    Direct permission Success Success
    User has full access to the data.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Marco,

    The link is great help. Just for a bit more clarification, may I ask if the function to read only is used as "Indirect"?
