Security For Dynamics AX

Security For Dynamics AX

One of the great benefits of modern, enterprise-ready business systems is the design of their security and the tremendous flexibility with which users can be granted or denied access to almost anything within the application. That capability, however, can also present one of the systems' greatest manageability issues.

The need to construct and maintain adequate permissions cannot be overstated. Whether it be for regulatory compliance, to protect against willful fraudulent acts, or simply to avoid allowing an employee to do something which they have not been adequately trained for, permissions management is not a "nice to have" feature; It is a must. And with perhaps millions of possible access control options to be evaluated in each system, it becomes critical to utilize tools that enable managers and administrators to evaluate them quickly, efficiently and reliably.

Arbela Technologies provides such a tool with Arbela Security Manager for Dynamics AX (ASM). ASM introduces a new administrative mode, called Security Manager, that provides visual indications and management of the security settings for every securable object on a form. ASM also enables easier User Group creation and management easing testing and validation process of Dynamics AX security.

Additionally, ASM exposes every security key (including on objects accessed through methods) in a form viewable side-by-side with the form for which security is being set. With this powerful tool, authorized users can see the effective permission state of any object and make any necessary changes WITHOUT EVER LEAVING THE FORM! The security group context (Domain and Group) is also selectable on-the-fly. The installation of this tool is quick and un-intrusive and makes no modification to the existing security code in Dynamics AX.
