  • Main menu – View permissions based on where the associated menu items appear in the menu structure of Microsoft Dynamics AX.

You can select one of the following access levels for permissions:

  • No access – Users will not have access to the selected element.

  • Create – Users will be able to create new objects, but will not be able to delete objects. This access level does not apply to service operations, output menu items (reports), or action menu items.

  • Correction – Users will be able to modify objects that have an effective date in the past. This access level does not apply to service operations, output menu items (reports), or action menu items.
