Update Only Security?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Is it possible to grant a user (via GP security) the rights to update existing master records (in our case, vendors), but NOT create new ones?

    You could also restrict it by user with VBA code.

    Hahmoud is correct. You would need VBA code to do this.

    The out of the box Dynamics GP security wouldn't allow this, although with few VBA code, this tasks is doable.

    I have seen that in one of the clients, the ID field is locked and won't allow typing new values, but looking up for existing values. That could be generalized on Vendor, Item, Customer, Employee and check books windows.

    On the other hand, Filed level security won't accomplish this since it won't allow security levels on "Required Fields", in your case the ID.
