Disable a class from use through any feature like configuration keys

Hello there,

I am currently sitting on a problem where I need to disable a class from use. I would like this to be done by configuration keys, since it probably would be the easiest way, but sadly there's no option for classes to have configuration keys.

The class' code should not be usable/runnable when the "configuration key" is disabled, e.g. if a table method calls a static method on a 'disabled' class, I want it to return an error. I know limiting access to classes ran by menu items is quiet possible with privileges, duties and process cycles as well as code permissions, but that's not quiet what I'm looking for.

Thank you in advance for any help and kind regards!

Hi Niklas,

Normal AX users don't need additional rights for this x++ statement. This statement is used throughout the system. Note that all users should have at least the system user role for one, more or all legal entities.

So try Martins suggestion.

Thanks for your answer Martin! As far as I know, the method "isConfigurationKeyEnabled" requires specific rights from a user to be executed, thus a common AX user wouldn't be able to 'execute' a method including that specific method.

Am I wrong?

If you want your method to throw an error, you can do it, of course. It seems that you're question should be "How can I check from code that a configuration key is disabled, so I can conditionally throw an error?"

The answer is: use isConfigurationKeyEnabled(). By the way, use configurationKeyNum() to convert configuration key names to IDs.
