How to add more than one permission sets (.xml files) in an extension?

Posted on by Community Member

Hello everyone,

I am new to business central permission sets. I have created superuser permission set in vs code. Now I want to add another permission set in my extension but it is not being created. 

I have tried creating another .xml file for permission set but when I publish my app to my sandbox by pressing F5, my file is not included in the app package and it only shows vs code generated permission set on the permission sets page list.

I want to include 2 permission sets in my extension whenever it is installed.

I have the same question (0)

    we can create multiple permission set files (xml) but make sure that when you build them they are included in package with below message.

    info AL1027: The file at location 'c:\WS\PM\Git\AL_W1\PermissionSets\<ABC>.xml' matches the definition for 'PermissionSet'.

    if there is any issue then they will show does not match the definition and we cannot see them in BC.

    Hi Nishant,

    You can add multiple permission sets, just that it should be inside a single Permission.xml file.

    Use Generate Permission using Ctrl + Shift + P to generate

    Refer below.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <PermissionSets>

     <PermissionSet RoleID="DATA DELETION TOOL" RoleName="Data Deletion Tool">

       <Permission>

         <ObjectType>5</ObjectType>

         <ObjectID>50190</ObjectID>

         <ReadPermission>0</ReadPermission>

         <InsertPermission>0</InsertPermission>

         <ModifyPermission>0</ModifyPermission>

         <DeletePermission>0</DeletePermission>

         <ExecutePermission>1</ExecutePermission>

         <SecurityFilter />

       </Permission>

       <Permission>

         <ObjectType>0</ObjectType>

         <ObjectID>50190</ObjectID>

         <ReadPermission>1</ReadPermission>

         <InsertPermission>1</InsertPermission>

         <ModifyPermission>1</ModifyPermission>

         <DeletePermission>1</DeletePermission>

         <ExecutePermission>0</ExecutePermission>

         <SecurityFilter />

       </Permission>

     </PermissionSet>

     <PermissionSet RoleID="DATA DELETION TOOL2" RoleName="Data Deletion Tool2">

       <Permission>

         <ObjectType>5</ObjectType>

         <ObjectID>50190</ObjectID>

         <ReadPermission>0</ReadPermission>

         <InsertPermission>0</InsertPermission>

         <ModifyPermission>0</ModifyPermission>

         <DeletePermission>0</DeletePermission>

         <ExecutePermission>1</ExecutePermission>

         <SecurityFilter />

       </Permission>

       <Permission>

         <ObjectType>0</ObjectType>

         <ObjectID>50190</ObjectID>

         <ReadPermission>1</ReadPermission>

         <InsertPermission>1</InsertPermission>

         <ModifyPermission>1</ModifyPermission>

         <DeletePermission>1</DeletePermission>

         <ExecutePermission>0</ExecutePermission>

         <SecurityFilter />

       </Permission>

     </PermissionSet>

    </PermissionSets>
