AL Extension Permissions in Business Central

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Nick Webb 891

I recently installed an AL extension that involved custom tables, pages, codeunits, reports etc.. and I didn't include an extensionsPermissionSet.xml . However, all the modules of the extension were visible to all users. The only quirk was that records created by one user were not visible to other users.

Is it a global rule that any custom modules created in an extension are automatically visible to all users?

Is there any mechanism to control visibility of new modules created in an extension?

    Extensions apply to the tenant, and every user in that tenant will 'see' all extensions in that tenant. Permissions are used to manage access to individual objects.

    The way you describe it, everybody has the permission to view all tables and all table data.

    Usually, every app should contain its own permission set but that is no hard requirement as you can assign permissions to the extension's objects manually, too

    The extension is applied to the environment within the tenant. If all your user ID is accessing the same environment, they will all get the same extension. If you want to control the visibility on each users within the same environment, you need to create a permission set and assign the permission set to the user respectively.
