Hi All ,

We need your assistance to create administrator view role in AX 2012 R3 CU13

The requirement is that client required two kind of roles that System administrator ,which is standard role and can do anything in the AX application . Second role is that System administrator view role ,which is nothing but should have all roles what system administrator has ,but view only. As per our analysis , there is no default system administrator view role in AX and to be developed ,which is tedious process by changing each and every role tables access level as per below link.

I would like to know that do we have easy process or insights to create system administrator view role in AX 2012 R3 CU13.

Thanks for looking into it

Hi sri17,

System admin means 'sytem admin' ;-)

If you want users to have only read rights then this is not a system admin.

If you want to have a role that can see everything but do nothing then you have to create it yourself.

As you said this might be a tedious task but the main question is why you need an 'admin' that can no literally nothing.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Administrator administers the system. So they have all control.

If you want a "view everything" role, try adding all privileges of name *view in it. It will not cover everything but quite a lot.

Hi sri17,

In the past, I wrote a blog how to create a view only role in a relatively easy way: dynamicspedia.com/.../
