Security Roles / User Migration

Finance and Operations/AX Technical Forum

Hi,

I am looking for a mechanism either in Excel Ad on or DMF to migrate the user’s security settings into an amendable format and then import it back in. In DMF there’s a user entity but it only allows assigning one security role per user. Any help would be much appreciated. The version is AX 2012 R3.

What exactly should be exported and imported? Just mapping between users and roles? “Security settings” is a wide term and most settings are actually saved in AOT.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for responding back. I am just interested in retrieving the roles associated to the users and update them through the DMF / office ad on. The current DMF entity allows you to associate the user to one role but when the user has more than one roles associated, it fails.

I didn’t actually try it, but as I’m looking to the code of DMFUserEntity, you should be able to define a list of roles in SecurityRole field.

Hi Martin,

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to append the groups using the right delimiters ‘;’. Your help is much appreciated :slight_smile:
