Per Field Permissions

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Im trying to create my own extension and have got to the point where I am wanting to configure the system so that fields editable setting is set to false if the user is part of a certain group.

Please advise if there is a better way to achieve this or to restrict users to just being able to read certain fields. I did see field level security but was unsure how to set this up depending upon the user's permission membership.

Would the best way be to setup my own permission sets and base the access around this rather than the built-in ones?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi, If you need to use permissions to control whether UI Elements are displayed, you can use the following property.

    AccessByPermission Property:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicsnav-2016/dn789622(v=nav.90)

    But as far as I understand this doesn't control whether it can be edited or not.

    You can use your permission set to control, or follow the solution below.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    If it's just a couple fields in one area, you could control that with a checkbox (custom field) on the User Setup record.

    But for larger scale, Easy Security's Field Level Security is definitely the route to go if you're in NAV with C/AL code. For BC extensions, there are a few different add-on solutions for Field Security.
