Hello,

I'm currently working on optimization of our companies permissions for business central.

In MS Learn I found out:

Excluding a permission set excludes all of the permissions in the set. Business Central calculates permissions as follows:

1. Calculate the full list of included permissions

2. Calculate the full list of excluded permissions

3. Remove excluded permissions from the list of included permissions (removing an indirect permission is the same as Reduce to Indirect)

I found out that number 3 depends on the include permission:

incude	yes	indirect
exclude	indirect	indirect
result	indirect	no permission

My workaround is to exclude the permissions and include them separately - but this is unnecessarily complicated.

In my opinion this behaviour is wrong.

I look forward to your feedback.

regards

Simone

Hi,

I think it is as per standard design.

In the documentation it is clear that if you define exclude, it just excludes the level of permission which you exclude, and if you do Reduce to Indirect, it limits the direct permission.

However if the permission is given in both Include and Exclude Permission set then the permission is excluded altogather.

Please refer to the documentation here and snapshot. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-define-granular-permissions
