    Muleso,

    You can setup Change Log, if you want to track the log of particular records.

    It is good to track Master data else for transactional log, performance will get an impact.

    You don't know unless you enable change log.  If you need to know that kind of information you need to enable change log. Please check the below link for more information,

    There are limited options of deleting the data in NAV itself, and users cannot delete posted data - mainly master data or unposted documents. For those, you can setup standard chang log: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh169208(v=nav.90).aspx

    Change log would not work if someone would delete data directly in the SQL database. To log these, you need to use SQL tools.

    Dear  muleso , 

    As i know Dynamics have give less priority for user controls , so that you don't have any direct access or any program to view these kind of user changes.

    there are some several ways to track these kind of issues

    1. Change log entry

    this program can be recorded every single changes that has been done to system , but enabling and using this will effect (enable change log entry to multiple) data base and system will get stuck when u try to view(u can view but take time)

    Note : if you didn't enable this to relevant program yet , so sorry u cannot view previous data

     

     2. User permission  set 

    maintaining permission set you can capture the user group ,  but you cannot capture exact person  who delete it    

    3. DB level

    strongly recommend if you don't have knowledge to database level and  Dynamics development ,  Please get help from your organization experts 

    you can go for the tables and find exact table code , go to db and check whether about the changes 

    Please verify the answer, if it helps to resolve your issue.its might be help to others

    I do think Dynamics NAV have a good security system and a good tracking system as well. It is all about how it is been set up. Any good system will look bad if that has been setup incorrectly.

    If the Permission Sets, User Personalization, Change Log, NAV Service, SQL DB, security is setup "properly" then NAV will be a very secure system. Plus client license MUST use.

    Coming back to the question : If the client license is used for the DB then system will not allow any user to delete posted transactions, any if a any master has open entries then those masters will not be able to delete.

    If the change log is activated, then any change happen in the Dynamics NAV (up to field level) can be track back easily.

    However, when activating the change log it is very necessary to consider the performance of the system.
