How to set up user permission

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

We are plan to deploy BC soon, but always confused with roles and users:

Why a user can choose different roles?

How to set up permission to a role? or set up permission to a user no need consider her/his role?

Thanks!

    First of all, what do you mean by BC? If Dynamics 365 Business Central, you're in a wrong forum (I can move the thread to the right one).

    Hi Kevin,

    Roles and Permissions have no link whatsoever.

    Roles: determine the layout of the user interface by showing/hiding functionality that is relevant for the role within the organization.

    For the record: chosing a role does not imply anything on Permissions.

    Permissions need to be set separately.

    Best practice is to

    - create user groups per profile in the organization (sales processor, procurement, finance, C-level)

    - add users to the user groups

    - add permissions to the user groups

    after that, permissions are granted when a user is added to the group.
