FIELD LEVEL SECURITY
Gain control over your data - Down to the field level
Do you trust all users in your organization to handle data responsibly?
With Field Level Security in BC X-RAY, you can now decide exactly who can edit any field in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and ensure your data stays clean, consistent, and secure.
What Is Field Level Security?
Field Level Security allows administrators of a system to limited specific users to make changes to selected fields.
With BC X-RAY you can setup Field Level Security on all fields on all pages in standard Business Central, and with help from a Business Central partner, the feature can easily be added to custom fields and 3rd party extensions.
Type of limitations
You are offered two types of limitations:
Specify who can
edit a field
Specify who can’t
edit a field
Selection of users
It is possible to select individual users, but BC X-RAY also support User Groups. That helps administrators in larger organizations to easy setup this security for many users.
Why it matters
Business Central offers robust permission controls, but they stop at table level, and do not offer limitations add field level. For many companies, that’s often not enough.
With BC Xray’s Field Level Security, you can:
Prevent unauthorized edits to sensitive data
Enforce compliance and internal policies
Reduce costly data errors caused by human mistakes
Maintain full transparency and accountability
Even be notified if a user try to change a field, they are now allowed to change.
Is it Complicated to Setup?
No, not at all. With BC X-RAY, setting up field-level permissions is very easy:
1) Go to the page you want to setup field-level permissions
2) Press ALT+C to open BC X-RAY
3) Select the field you want to control (on any page).
4) Deciede if you want to specify users who can edit or cant edit
5) Specify the user(s) or User Group(s)
6) Activate the feature
All is done, and the limitation is now activated in company in Business Central.
Your business logic and data security stay intact – across users, companies, and environments.
