Security disable Ctrl+N

Hello everyone,

Currently I'm having some security troubles within a form.

What I want to achieve is:

Person A needs to be able to mutate the entire form (mutate in grid, add new lines, delete lines, etc)

Person B needs to be able to mutate only the grid, but without adding or deleting new lines.

To achieve this, I assume that both person A & B need the menu item to be on 'delete' Access, since when person B has the menu item on read, B cannot mutate anything on the form.

Then I removed the visible buttons 'new', 'delete' and other maintain, this all works fine.

However, the 'Ctrl + N' function or via 'File > New' in AX still adds a line to the grid.

I know there is an option in the form to put AllowCreate on 'No', however, messing with these properties sets it for ALL users. Also for people that DO need to add new lines to the grid.

Is there any way to solve this?

Kind regards,

Igor

    Person B should have "Update" rights, not "Delete". Otherwise he/she can add new records.

    Hi Igor,

    Nikolaos is correct. You can simply create a privilege with the menu item and provide update permissions. Out of the box, the security is setup to have no, read or full access, but there are more flavors.

    Of course, never thought of these possibilities. Thanks!
