Business value

Businesses usually require specific role/duty segregation and therefore maintain a corresponding set of user groups and permission sets. We've made it more efficient to manage this and also to service customers coming from Dynamics NAV with legacy permission sets.

Feature details

The following improvements have been implemented:

• The Object Caption field is added on the Permissions and Tenant Permissions pages. The Object Caption field is hidden by default.
• A new Remove Obsolete Permissions action is added on the Permission Sets page that will remove any obsolete objects from all permission sets.
• The possibility to select multiple permissions sets with Exclude Permission Sets and Include Permission Sets actions. Multiselect will also be available for System permission sets in on-premises installations.
• The possibility to import and export system permissions is added for on-premises installations.
• The possibility to merge permissions when importing is added for both system and tenant permissions. Users will be prompted to either skip import or merge permission sets when permission sets already exist.
• The possibility to select and display several permission sets with the Filter Permission Sets action is added for both system and tenant permissions.
