Hi,

I would like to know if the modules in D365 F&O can be hidden for specific users if the user should not have access to the specific modules.

Kind Regards

Hi,

yes, it is possible, but it should be done through security roles/privileges, not only by hiding UI elements.
In D365 Finance & Operations, modules/pages can be hidden from specific users by controlling their security roles.

D365 F&O uses role-based security:

Roles are assigned to users.

Roles contain duties.

Duties contain privileges.

Privileges contain permissions to menu items, forms, tables, reports, services, etc.

So, if a user should not access a module, you normally remove the security role/duty/privilege that gives access to that module’s menu items. Then the related menu entries, workspaces, and pages should no longer be available to that user.

Important note: you usually do not “hide the module” directly as a personalization setting. You secure the underlying menu items/pages. The UI then shows only what the user has permission to access.

Typical approach:

Go to System administration > Security > Security configuration.

Review the user’s assigned roles.

Remove unnecessary roles, or create a custom role with only the needed duties/privileges.

Test using Security diagnostics for task recordings or by logging in as/test assigning the user.

Avoid overusing broad roles like System administrator, because they expose nearly everything.

Microsoft docs confirm that access to workspaces/modules depends on assigned roles, and permissions are tied to entry points such as menu items:
