Hi ! I have defined a security filter for a table in a specific role. It sets a filter on Global dimension 1. In certain areas of Navision, I would like to test the value of that security filter so I can use that value in another filter on another table. Is there a way to retrieve, at runtime, the value of a security filter of a role and use this value for other purposes ?

thanks in advance !

    Could you please post an example on how to use this ? When I try the following:

    customer.filtergroup(6);
    temptext := customer.getfilter(global dimension code 2);
    message(temptext);
    customer.filtergroup(0);

    then the temptext string remains empty. What do i do wrong ?

    Security filters are set only on form rec. If you want to use them on another variable you must use SETPERMISSIONFILTER.
    customer.SETPERMISSIONFILTER;
filtergroup(6);
temptext := customer.getfilter(global dimension code 2);
message(temptext);
filtergroup(0);
