Posted on by CU05031448-0 1,323
Hi team,
 
If we created 
 
A. Security role 
Security privilege 
Security Duty through User interface , is it impact on AOT under securities? I mean it will be available on AOT?
 
B. If we created the above directly on AOT, It's obviously reflected on User interface.
 
Questions-
Kindly clarify A & B.
 
Is there any difference between creation of securities through UI or AOT ?
 
Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
     
    In AX2012, when you modify security roles via the user interface, it adjusts the objects in the AOT directly. In fact, the result of changing via UI or the AOT is the same. When opening the AX client, it is recommended to check which development layer and model is selected, as it will make the changes in that layer. 
     
    In case you have enabled source control in AX2012, you need to work via the AOT to be able to check out objects. 
     
    Note that in Dynamics 365 F&O the development option is disconnected from the application. For that reason this reply is valid for AX2012 only. In Dynamics 365, changes via UI are not changing the application objects, only runtime data.

    Thanks Andre,
     
    So, in AX 2012, if we created or modified Securities via UI, it will impact on the AOT - Securities also.
     
    As you said " Note that in Dynamics 365 F&O the development option is disconnected from the application. For that reason this reply is valid for AX2012 only. In Dynamics 365, changes via UI are not changing the application objects, only runtime data."

    Hi,
     
    This is a forum where volunteers work for free. Neither Microsoft nor anyone else pays them for the hours they spend here. Please be patient if there is a delay in response.
     
    In older versions of Dynamics, when you made a change and pressed the save button, it was executed instantly on the instance/server. In AX 2012, when a security change was made from the UI, the underlying AOT objects were updated at the same time.
    However, in D365 FO, when you make security object changes from the UI (running app), the changes are stored in tables and not in the Application Explorer as new objects.
     
    In D365 FO, if you wish to make a security change via the Application Explorer, you must do it in Visual Studio and then deploy the code.

    What are you trying to build? What is your business need?

    Hi Sohaib, What I understood...
     
    As you said "
     
    older versions of Dynamics, when you made a change and pressed the save button, it was executed instantly on the instance/server.
     
    --  AX 2009, Any changes happend on application level (UI), it instantly executed in Client/ Server.
     
     
    In AX 2012, when a security change was made from the UI, the underlying AOT objects were updated at the same time.
     
    -- AX 2012 , If any changes happend in UI level, the underlying AOT objects update immediately.
     
    In D365 FO, when you make security object changes from the UI (running app), the changes are stored in tables and not in the Application Explorer as new objects.
     
    In D365 FO, if you wish to make a security change via the Application Explorer, you must do it in Visual Studio and then deploy the code."
     
    -- D365FO, If any changes happend in UI that will happened run time. But if I like to stored the changes on AOT , then we should go to VS - Application expolrer to deploy it. Then only it will impacted on database level.
     
    Am I correct?
     
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Apologies for a late reply. Somehow I didn't got notified about new replies on this thread even though I subscribed to this question.
     
    In AX2009, all security was based on table series. That got refactored to a (in my opinion) better security model in AX 2012, starting from the AOT. If you want to make changes to the security via the development option, you had to open the AOT view. All changes via UI or via development were directly updating both the application objects and the view using the UI.
     
    Your summary above is correct.
