Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 provides a set of standard roles. A role is a set of permissions for a set of objects in the database. You can use roles in the default form, modify roles, or create new roles as your needs require. You then can assign users to these roles.

Viewing Permissions for a Role

To view permissions for a role

  1. Open the Classic client, and then connect to an SQL database.

  2. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click Roles.

  3. Select a role, click Role in the lower right corner of the form, and then select Permissions.

Assigning a User to a Role

To assign a user to a role
