How to assign read only access to user in AX 2012

Recently in our project there is a requirement - need to assign the read only access to one of the AX User.
So searching in the AX community for this if any one has implemented similar functionality,finally found the article.
Below is the link.
https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/kayaconsulting/archive/2013/08/03/ax2012-how-to-create-a-read-only-security-role-walkthrough

Followed the step by step mentioned in the above article and achieved the read only access for the AX user.
Here wanted to add one more point, i.e. in the above article it filters all the *Inquire, *Review for the 'SysModelElement' and SecurityDuty for the 'SysModelElementType'.

In customization, if created new forms/classes/reports and added those new forms/classes/reports in new 'Duties', so in this case these also needs to be included in the 'Role' which created by using the steps mentioned from the above articles. So those objects also will have the 'View' permissions for the AX user.

  1. Hi,

    We've a similar requirement where we would like to make AX as read only for a Security Role.

    I followed the shared link, however, i ended up in a situation where i could see AX in read-only but with many missing menu items. Adding the missing menu item is an option but doesnt sounds a very useful suggestion.

    Further, i used Security development tool, looks a better solution in comparision to the one menitoned in link, however, it too has problems of missing menu items.

    I was intrested to know how did you/ your team solved this businees requirement.

    Thanks,
    Nikunj
