Filter View on Custom Entity Lookup to User

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jim.corriveau@chest... 81
Hello,
 
I'm using D365 CE and have a custom entity (Boats) with a lookup to User (Captain).  I'm trying to create a view that will show all Boats where the Captain is the current User or the Captain is 'Under' the current User.  Basically, trying to mimic the OOB functionality of the Owner field and the 'Equals current user of their reporting hierarchy'.
 
Is there a way a view like this can be created?
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
Thank you,
 
Jim

    Hi,
     
    By setting up hierarchical security for users, it is possible to realize that higher-level users can access the records of lower-level users.
    The steps are as follows.
     
    Step 1. Create records for each of the two Users (Captain) and assign the records to them.

     
    Step 2. Set up hierarchy security.
    1. Click Advanced Settings -> Security ->  Hierarchy Security -> Enable Hierarchy Modeling -> Save and Close

        2.Click Advanced Settings -> Security -> Position -> NEW to create positions for users

     

     

     
    Step 3. The results show that users with a higher level can access the records of lower level users.

     

     
     I hope my answer is helpful to you! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.
     
    Best Regards,
    Dengliang Li
