AX2009 Security: how to allow access to a rightclick system popup form?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kevin Murray 1,005

Hi all

I would like to create a special group in security
to access a popup system form, The form is displayed
by right-clicking on a form, selecting 'Record Info'
the title of the form is 'Record information'.

The functionality I'm interested is under button
'Database Log'. The only way I know to give users
access to this is to give them higher access than is
desirable. I would like to isolate them to just that
button if possible.

Any ideas? Currently on AX2009.
Thanks, K.

    Hi Kevin,

    So you have to take a look at the SysRecordInfo form in order to get an idea as to where the permissions are assigned on a button to button basis.

    For example, the rename button calls action menu item SysRenameKey.  If you look at that menu item in the aot you can see the security key for it.  Admin > Misc > Rename key.

    Another example, the script button does not call another form so the security key is assigned in the properties directly on the form.  SysDevelopment.

    Etc etc

    I think I've determined the security key for this is AdminInquiries,  but even giving full control permissions to Admin & Electronic Signatues groups my test user is unable to rightclick and see the form/button.

    Kevin, yes you are correct the security key is Admin > Inquiries > Database log for this specific button.

    Try cascading the permission.

    So user right clicks on any form selects Record info.  The Record Information form appears, just not the database log button???

    Or he can't even get to the record info form?  Says not enough access?

    He does get the Record Information form, all that's on it is the 'Order Line' text and greyed field (testing on Sales Order Lines form). The buttons (ShowAllFields, PrintAllFields, DataBaseLog, Script, CompanyAccountsTemplate and UserTemplate) are missing. I'm only interested in DatabaseLog...I'm fine, he's not.

    I tried cascading, no effect. I was convinced at one point the Electronic Signatures were important but no difference...

    Kevin,

    Take a look at sysRecordInfo forms init method. 

    There is some code there:

           if (dictTable.rights() < AccessType::View)
            {
                printGrp.visible(false);
            }

    I believe this looks for admin table security, not sure which one however. 

    What you can do is simply bypass this if statement and the database log button and section(called printGrp in the form) should appear.

    Give this a try.  This one is tricky.

    Hi Kevin,

    try this:

    Administration > Miscellaneous > Form Personalisation: Grant full access to this key and its child node

    Development > Add Fields: Grant full access access to this key and its child node

    Regards

    Kadriye

    Kent, Kadriye...

    Thanks for helping me. I tried commenting out the code in SysRecordInfo, it didn't work but I feel it would have going down that route. Kadriye, I tried your suggestion but never saw the Development child node under Form Personalizations. Perhaps I was in the wrong place or didn't have the right access.

    I did find a combination of access rights that worked, as follows: Access is ViewOnly for all mentioned.

    Administration

      Inquiries

         Database Log

         Signature Log

    Arch (peculiar to my company)

      Security

         Rename function

    Electronic Signature

      Electronic Signature

    The combination of these when combined into a new security group and added to a user's profile show the rightclick Recordinfo and allow access to the DatabaseLog button.

    You would think there'd be a easier way tho.

    Thanks

    Kevin
