Business central extension management permission

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 26

Hi!

Could it be possible to give a developer some permissions in order for them to upgrade their extensions and manage them by their own, but without them to be able to see my companies data?.

I mean, they should be able to publish, sync, upgrade data for new extensions and install, but ideally they should be able to see the less data stores in the database as possible.

Does Business central on premise, has a way of handling this situation?. I mean the developers to their work in a testing env with example data. Later they to upload to production with ther permissions for just uploading the extension (so that they can't restart BC or... other kind of actions that could cause outages and that shouldn't be able to achieve).  Is this possible?.

Perhaps I should write some code that basically does :

- Check if an app exists in the testing server in some agreed directory.

- If exists, upload it to production.

- Launch the standard procedure (publish, sync, start-navappdataupgrade, install)

- Done! or if I received some error code after each command... revert the machine to previous to extension changing event?.

Cheers!

    Hi, I think you can consider using automation APIs so that you don't need to access to the BC (Oauth).

    More details about automation APIs.

    Hope this can give you some hints.

    Thanks.
