Hello dears,

Is there any global event that control the visibility of the field similar to the global events OnAfterOnGlobalInsert,

OnAfterOnGlobalModify,..?

Or any other way to control it globally

I have the same question (0)

    Visible is a single page field property only available at that level. You could have a single codeunit that acts as the main control but each page would need a function to call it based on the current methods available

    Thanks Josh for your reply, I think there is a different way to control the field (Visible, editable, ...).I see a lot of extensions where you select a table then a specific field then you specify the visibility or if editable and ot will be applied to all the system. Like field level permission

    Hello YUN,

    Thanks for your reply, between I am a big follower of your posts and blogs, I already read this blog and its very helpful, but in my case I need a more general control. Kindly check this app : https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/dynamics-365-business-central/PUBID.efoqus-5058796%7CAID.security%7CPAPPID.7c4b9095-058f-4464-a4d0-104cc305e68c?tab=Overview

    • Field Control - to specific if a field should be visible or not to a particular user(s)
    • Page Control - to specify if a user can access a particular page
    • Action Control - to control whether a user can perform an action or not
    • Data Access Filter - to enable administrators to apply a dynamic filter whenever a table is accessed

    If you should do all this in the standard solutions you will have to use pretty much all the roles,security, permission, seurity filter and personalization functionality in the system.

    Here is a good starting point for you:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-define-granular-permissions. You will also find the manage profiles and user settings there.

    Used in the correct way they can achieve a lot but it takes some time to get familiar with all the concepts. As and alternative you can seek assistance from your partner.

    Hi, This is a really great extension. Thanks for the info.
    Page Control is not difficult, 
    But for the rest, I can't see how it works at the moment.
    Because as far as I know, there is no global control for this kind of processing in the system (visible, filters....), and it is impossible to get the actions and controls on all pages. I'll look into it when I have time.

    Thanks dear

    No sure,the standard solution will not be enough.I am thinking to do it dynamically by extension
