Permission sets of the current user

frankmortensen · 2021-08-03

In a Dynamics NAV 2018 - is it possible to find/lookup the permission sets of the current user (user SID) logged in, using C/AL?
If it is possible - I am assuming that one or more virtual table(s) is to be filtered in order to search or find these permission set entries - but wich tables and how should it be filtered?

Do you mean you wish to what Roles and Permission has been assigned to that User ID?

@RockWithNAV Sort of ...
I mean what roles and permission does the current user (session) have.
This can be roles/permissions assigned directly to the user ID (in Users and user groups). And it can be roles/permissions from AD/windows groups.

Use these 2 tables

User
Access Control

You will get the USER information from the User table and then take User Security ID, filter Table Access control on User Security ID and then you will have all the Roles assigned to that user.

Thanks.
But how can I see roles and permissions inherited from windows/AD groups? :-)

BC will only display what BC have for the specific user, for AD you may either need to take dotnet variable and write some piece of code or else use powerscript.
