RE: Which is the difference between Security roles and User roles?
Hi Joel,
Security role and user role mean the same thing, no difference.
The following is my personal understanding.
1. Security Roles is a functional term in D365 that administrators can assign security roles to users or teams.
We can create multiple security roles in advance, regardless of whether any users need them or not.
2. The user role appears only when we assign security roles to a user. It represents the security roles that a user has.
Imagine that we use a ladder to simulate the security role. The factory would make different models of ladders in advance and put them in the warehouse, waiting to be sold. When a user needs a certain model of ladder, we sell it to him, and each user can buy multiple models of ladders.
Here the security role represents the ladders placed in the warehouse (It must be created before it is given to the user), and the user role represents the ladders already sold to the user (Users already own it). How high the user can reach through the ladder is determined by the highest ladder he has (The range of a user's access rights consists of the maximum value of the individual item rights for all their security roles).
