User rights in NAV 5.0: documentation

hvdhoeven

I'm looking for documentation about user rights in NAV 5.0.
As a lecturer at a Dutch University, I have a NAV installation that I use as a virtual company. I use the roles for user rights, but cannot get it working right (with low effort). The standards rights in Cronus are not ready te use...
I would like to have some documentation about this subject.
Also about the function of the roles "all" and "super (data)".

The Installation & System Management document "w1w1ism.pdf" in the folder \Doc on the NAV ProductDVD, chapter 4.4 Setting Up Logins, Passwords and Permissions, talks about this subject. Some existing roles are described:

SUPER
This role can read, use, change and delete all data and all application objects
(that your license permits). Dynamics NAV requires that at least one user is
assigned this role in each database.
You cannot alter the permissions that have been granted to this role.

SUPER (DATA)
This role can read, use, change and delete all data. This is a role that you will
normally assign to an accounting manager or another person who can work
with all the data but does not need to make changes in the program.

SECURITY
This role has access to the tables and functions related to security information
(users, permissions and passwords). Users who have been given this role can
grant permissions to others, but they can only grant those permissions they
themselves have. Therefore if you want to create an "area superuser," you
should give that person the SECURITY role plus permissions for the areas (such
as Purchases & Payables) in which they can grant and revoke permissions for
other users. This allows them to create new logins and to grant and revoke
permissions for other users within the area of Purchases & Payables.

ALL
This role can use fundamental (but not “high-security”) tables and functions.
Assign this role to all users (except SUPERUSER), because this is a prerequisite
for all other roles you will assign to them.
