User Main Menu and Permissions

Pm

Hi all,

In Navision 3.7V there was a way to assign users to a main menu. Where is that option in 4.0V?

Is it possible to create groups (menus) in Navigation Pane designer and assign it to users / user groups?

Another thing: It's so dificult to assign permissions to users!!! I do that doing the following:

1) I give the role ALL to an user;
2) Then, I try to do a sales Invoice and I have no permissions;
3) Then, I create a new role with the permissions I needed in 2) and assign to the user;
4) Then, I try again... etc etc etc

Is this the way I should do it?

Best regards, and thanks in advanced,

You can assign users to the navigation pane via the designer and copy from one user to another using this tool

There are some tools that make usersetup easier, just search this site.

I recommend to use standard roles defined for the areas of application. You will have less problem when upgrading. You need only to create some roles for your new tables you created. And second hint - assign roles to groups from AD, not directly to the users. Try to create groups based on what the people are doing, create the groups, assign users into groups and assign Navision roles to the groups. After that, you do not need to assign the all roles for each user, you only add the user into the group on AD and create account in Navision and it is all what you need (Warning: Navision go only through first level of the group's structure, if you include into some group another group, Navision will ignore this secod group and the rights will not be assigned. You can include only users into this groups...)

Example

AD Group      Navision Role
  G Navi All  - ALL  
             - BN-USER
  G Navi Sales - S&R-CUSTOMER
                S&R-JOURNAL
                S&R-Q/O/I/R/C
                S&R-REGISTER
......               
AD Group      AD Members
G Navi All   - DOMAIN\User1
                   DOMAIN\User2
                   DOMAIN\User3
                   DOMAIN\Authenticated users   - will be ignored, it is group
G Navi Sales - DOMAIN\User3

These objects are also really terrific. They allow you to use the client monitor to record processes and assign them to a role. It is called Give Permission unser the User/Role Combinations form.
