Security roles mapped to buttons

Posted on by Community Member

I have spent hours trying to ascertain which roles activate certain buttons in Dynamics AX 2012 R2. I require a simple map. This button is activated by these security roles.....

I am trying to find which role turns on the Accounts Payable/Common/Purchase Orders/All Purchase Orders/'Receive' tab/Journals/PRODUCT RECEIPT without activating the Generate Product Receipt button.

PLEASE HELP!

If you want to find the menu item assigned security roles name then right click on the menu item in the AOT, add-ins-> security tools-> view related security roles.

Of course the button is named differently to the items in the AOT Menu Items. What is the product receipt button called and what is the generate product receipt button called

?

Hi Simon. If I run the Related security roles on the menu item I get the following list. You need to run this on the actual menu-item in the menuitems node in the AOT, not on the button on the form. You can really look at installing the free Security Development tool for AX, it is very helpful in getting more information on security roles like you are looking for.

Thanks Jonathan. I'm assuming that VendReceiptsJournal is the 'Product Receipts' button. Are you able to tell me the name of the menu item for the Generate Product Receipts button? I need a role which activates the Product Receipts button but not the Generate Product Receipts.

"add-ins-> security tools->is empty"

You don't know menu item name, then where you right clicked and checked the security tools are empty

We won't send the roles for button every time.

Please right click on the VendReceiptsJournal menu item and find the security roles as per my previous reply.

Please use personalize option on right click, check on tree control where the button is go to info tab and press edit. Locate the same button and find the properties of the button.

If its menu item button you will have type an name available in the properties

Then you can browse them on the AOT and find the security enabled on this.
