Data Authorization

Dynamics AX 2009

Other Versions

Dynamics AX 4.0

Data authorization in Microsoft Dynamics AX is performed in three ways:

Implicit authorization
Checks done by setting security properties on Application Object Tree (AOT) objects
Checks done in X++

Implicit Authorization

Implicit authorization means that the kernel performs the check. An example of this would be when you are accessing a data source from a form or report. Record level security is used to determine whether the user has access to run the form or report.

Checks Done by Setting Security Properties on AOT Objects

An example of this is setting the security key and needed access level properties on menu items and on form or report controls.

Checks Done in X++

Explicit authorization can be done in X++.

Examples:

Copy

if (hasSecurityKeyAccess(securitykeyNum(mySecurityKey), AccessType::View))
{
    myMethod();
}

if (hasMenuItemAccess(menuItemDisplayStr(myMenuItem), MenuItemType::Display)))
{
    myMethod();
}

DictTable dictTable = new DictTable(tablenum(myTable));
if (dictTable.rights >= AccessType::Insert))
{
    myMethod();
}

if (isConfigurationkeyEnabled(configurationkeyNum(myConfigurationKey))
{
    myMethod();
}
