Functionality of limited user in NAV 2013

Hi all,

Not sure if I am posting this in the right forum so mods please move if appropriate. My question is what functionality does the limited user have in NAV 2013. Where can I find information about this?

Thank you for your help!

Regards,

Magnus

Hi Magnus,

Check out page 6 and appendix A in Dynamics ERP Perpetual Licensing Guide.

    • limited users are not allowed to write to any of the following tables: General Ledger (table 17), Permission Set (table number 2000000004), Permission (table number 2000000005) or Access Control (table number 2000000053); and
    • any table described in Appendix A as “Limited User Included Tables” do not count towards the 3 table objects.

Hi Erik,

Do you have any experience with it?

Hi All,

May I please know, whether the Limited user table restriction getting applied in 2013, or it will get applicable on next version ?

In the current NAV 2013 the restrictions are actually not technically applied. So here it’s based upon a trust between the customer and the partner who sells the license and Microsoft. Technically it is not being enforced!

I have not yet tested this functionality in NAV 2013 R2, but will post an update when I get the chance.

Hi Erik.

I have tested a Limited User (with role SUPER) in NAV2013R2, and apparently the Limited User works as limited user!
I’ve tried to Release, Ship and Post a sales order but and i could not (every time the same message: You do not have the following permissions on TableData XXXXXXXXX: Modify).

Did you try it in NAV2013 r2?

I hope you comments about it.

Best regards
