How to have different permission for the user in the
different companies in AX 2009.
For example if we are having 2 companies i.e. ‘CEU’ and ‘CEC’
in AX 2009.So if the user-x will be having the same permissions in both
companies.
Now we want
to have the user to have the different permission in both the companies ‘CEU’
and ‘CEC’.
i.e. let say
the user-x in the company ‘CEU’ to have permission under the module ‘Accounts
Payable’ for sections ‘Journals’ and ‘Inquiries’.
For the
other company ‘CEC’ to have the permission under the module ‘Accounts Payable’
for the section ‘Reports’ only.
So to achieve
this we need to have the following setup to be done. Below is the step by step
procedure to be followed.
Step 1:
Create a new Domain id in the Axapta 2009.
In Module Administration – setup – Domains. 
Step 2: Go
to ‘Company accounts’ tab in the same form, over there add the company account ‘CEC’
under the created new Domain ‘Test’ as shown in the below figure
Step 3: Now
go to the user group
In Module
Administration – setup – User group, open the form.
Over here
select the user group for which we wanted to have different permission in 2
companies.
In this let
take the user group ‘PR complete’.
Step 4: Now click on the button ‘Permission, it takes you to ‘User group Permission’ form.
Over here we
can see the domain id against the User group.
Step 5: Now select the ‘Admin’ Domain id and go to
permission tab. Under the permission tab give the permission
Step 6: Now
again come back the tab ‘Overview’, select the ‘Test’ domain id and switch to
the ‘permission’ tab again.
Under the
Accounts Payable – give full control for ‘Reports ‘as shown in the screen shot.
Now, login with
any of the user which is in the user group ‘PR complete’.
So when the
user login
In the
Company ‘CEU’ will be able to see the under Account Payable – ‘Journals’ and
Inquiries’ and in the company ‘CEC’, Accounts Payable – ‘Reports’, ‘Journals’
and Inquiries’.
Since we didn’t
any give any permission for Account Payable – ‘Journals’ and Inquiries’ under
the domain ‘Test’ for ‘Journals’ and ‘Inquiries’ but still able to see in the
company ‘CEC’. The reason is that in the other domain id ‘Admin’ it also
contains the company account ‘CEC’ in it, so it showing up those in it.
So this is
how we can different permission in the different companies by using ‘Domain id’
in the user group.
