You use the Classic client to manage security for the RoleTailored client. When you install the Classic client, Setup adds the following files that you can import into the Classic client to enhance the security system for the RoleTailored client.

File Description

UserRoles.xml

Defines 21 supplemental roles, which include one for each standard profile in the RoleTailored client, and a BASIC role. The BASIC role grants users access to required system tables and other fundamental tables and is a prerequisite for all other roles that are defined in UserRoles.xml.

UserRolePermissions.xml

Defines permissions for the BASIC role, specifies which objects users with the BASIC role can access in the database, and specifies the type of access (read, insert, modify, delete, and execute).

By importing these two files into the Classic client, you can start integrating the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 security system with the RoleTailored client. There is no explicit connection between roles and profiles, but by giving users of a particular profile the corresponding role in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 security system, you help ensure that user database permissions are consistent with their profiles.

Security noteSecurity Note

The following limitations exist if you import the sample roles:

These roles and the permissions that you import are provided as a sample or starting point for an actual configuration. A Microsoft Certified Partner or administrator must further configure these roles and permissions before they can meet customer requirements.

The user will experience permission errors if only these sample roles and permissions are used to set up the Microsoft Dynamics NAV security system.

No legal or other agreements concerning the setup of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV security system can be based on the sample roles and permissions supplied in the .xml files that are described in this topic.
