Dynamics NAV 2016 - set up field level security

Posted on by lockforward

On the item card in Dynamics NAV 2016; I need to have one of the fields be read only or read\write depending upon the user. The field always needs to be visible, but certain users need to be able to modify the data in the field. I have seen a number of ways to do this but none seem to match what we are looking for. I am up for using a codeunit to manage the field but do not see a way to get the user name tied in to the code

Hi Lockforward,

Here is an idea:

1. Add a boolean field to the user setup table that can indicate if the user is allowed to edit the field or not. I will call it "Can Edit Field".

2. In the item card create a boolean variable and assign it to your field's Editable property

3. On Open Page get the current user's record from the user setup table and assign the value of the "Can Edit Field" to your boolean variable. If there is no record for the user in the user setup the value should be false.

Regards,

Marcell
