Creating a new role

NAV has its own built-in methods for controlling access to certain parts of the system. This recipe will show you how to create role (Permission Set) to limit that access.

How to do it...

1. From the RoleTailored client, navigate to Department | Administration | IT Administration | General | Permission Set.

2. Use the New (Ctrl + N) action to enter a new role called SAMPLE with the description PACKT – Sample Role.

3. Now with your cursor on the SAMPLE line, click on the action Permissions.

4. Let's add a permission for Object Type as TableData and Object ID as 18.

5. Set the permission as shown in the following table:

   Object Type	Object ID	Read Permission	Insert Permission	Modify Permission	Delete Permission
   Table Data	18	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

6. After setting the permission, the NAV window will look like the following screenshot:

   

7. Click on OK.

How it works...

Roles are inserted into the system using the same shortcuts as in every other record, by using the Ctrl + N...
