View from AOT query with currenUser() as range

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi, I've created an AOT query in AX 2012R3 with a range where the userId is set to (currentuser()).

Let's say I am logged in as User1. This works fine. I get all the records from the table that where created by the User1. All other user can see their own records as expected when using this query.

However, when I use this query as a datasource in a view I need to synchronise the view with the database in order to see the records of User1. At the same time all other users can see the User1 records as the view is synchronised with currentUser = User1. Please advise how I can make sure the view is only showing the records for the currentUser.

    Hi LouisH,

    This is as far as I have experienced not possible. The synchronization is indeed replacing it with the actual user. You can actually use eXtensible Data Security to constrain the records based on the user (then remove the current range in the view). Another option is to apply a filter on a form or report during runtime.
