Hello Kishore,

By default, only members of the Administrators user group can make changes in Application Object Tree (AOT), the central repository for classes, tables, and other development elements in Microsoft Dynamics AX. But any user group which has been given access permission to make changes in AOT can make changes to the AOT.

It is a security best practice that you should create a Developers user group to help minimize the number of users in the Administrators user group. Give the Developers user group access permission to make changes in AOT. Restrict the number of users in the Developers group. The Developers group could have Edit permission if you follow a strict security policy of least privilege. However, if developers need to create or delete AOT elements, the group requires Create or Full control permission. Ideally, you should not give any other group access permission to AOT, especially access permission where members of that group can make changes in AOT. If it is required, you can grant View permission so individuals can view elements in AOT.

Hello Kishore,

To set access permissions for user groups :

  1. From a Microsoft Dynamics AX client, click Administration > Setup > Security > User group permissions.

  2. On the Overview tab, select a user group and then select a domain.

  3. Click the Permissions tab.

  4. In the list, select the item or items for which you want to set permissions. As you have to grant development access permissions for a user group, so you’ll have to select “Development”.

The Development security key (SysDevelopment) controls access to all development security keys. Members of the user group can access the MorphX development environment, and make additions and changes to Microsoft Dynamics AX. If this security key is enabled, the subfolder keys are automatically enabled.

Remarks: If individual access rights have been placed on any of the lower-level keys, these access levels remain, regardless of the level defined for the Development security key.

Note: To select multiple items, press and hold the CTRL key.

  1. Under Access, select a permissions level. After you have selected a permissions level, the selected item shows a check mark to indicate that permissions have been set.

  2. In the Viewing list, select a new area of Microsoft Dynamics AX for which you have to set permissions.

  3. Press CTRL+S to save changes.

  4. If you changed the permissions of an existing group, especially if you set more restrictive permissions on that group,restart the Microsoft Dynamics AX server. Instruct all group members to restart their Microsoft Dynamics AX clients.
