Hi,

Wondering if this is a special requirement to have in CODE level, if not you can easily check the same in security configuration in Sys admin module.

Yes Ramit. Thanks for your reply. Im aware of that functionality in D365.

But I must do it with code.

See the process to develop is : if a user has a privilege AND other condition then a button is enabled.

Hi,

You may try some of the code in this thread. It is for AX 2012, but might give you an idea as to how you can achieve this in D365.

First of all, the button is visible only if the user has a privilege that grants access to it.

So you don't need to check it in code.

On top of that, you can still enable/disable it in code, based on your custom logic.

However as general information there are some ways to evaluate user permissions in code:

1) You can check in code if an user has access to a menu item button using the AccessRights class but normally you don't need to.

2) You can query SystemSecurityUserRoleEntity and join it to SystemSecurityPrivilege entity to find out which privileges the current user has access to. Or, use SystemSecurityPermissionEntity to find out on menu item level what is the user's access level.

But you don't need to! The security framework handles it for you automatically.

Hi Naycene,

I do agree with Nikolaos here. I wouldn't recommend checking for a privilege. What to do if a copy of that privilege will be created with a small difference? Then you need to change the code to potentially include the new privilege.

So, best practice: A menu item button would be visible according to settings in the security framework. Based on e.g. status of a record you can have conditions to have a button enabled or disabled.

If you are using a button and not a menu item button, try to see if you can change it to use the menu item button. Otherwise you need to add form control permissions on the privileges to manage the security.

Hi,

As mentioned by others, this should not be handled by code but a security framework. If you have a menu item button then you can simply create a new privilege only for that menu item.

If it is the normal button then work with form control permissions, check link docs.microsoft.com/.../how-to-use-roles-and-privileges-to-restrict-access-to-a-button

Naycene,

The only way to do this via code would be to do it in 3 parts:

- Get the roles assigned to the user via the SecurityUserRole table

- Get the role -> subrole -> duty -> privilege security structure from the security framework via the SecurityRepository class

- Generate a user -> privilege mapping from the above two queries
