Hello experts,

Hope you're all doing well.

I've a function "MyFunction(UserId: Code[50])" in a codeunit which further calls a system's function. In that system's function, code runs according to the current user that is currently logged in the business central. In 'MyFunction', I want to run that system's code according to the user I'm passing as a parameter.

In Finance and Operations, there is a method 'RunAs' which runs the code according to the user provided in the method 'RunAs'. Is there any way to perform this functionality in Business central? Answers will be highly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

There is no such function in Business Central.

But in Business Central you can assign permission to an object and that will allow users to run functions in the context of the object even though they will not be able to perform the same actions independently in the user interface.

Hi, Unfortunately, as far as I know, this feature is not available in BC.

There is a clue, although I have not investigated in detail.
In Job Queue, Codeunit or Report is executed using the User ID set on the card. I am not sure whether this can be used in our customization.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
