Business value

One of the current extensibility gaps is the inability to extend profiles. This gap forces partners to copy profiles that other extensions define when they need to change those profiles. In this release, you can now define profile extension objects.

Feature details

With this feature, you can create profile extension objects in your AL code. Use these objects to change the target profile's caption or role center. You can also use these objects to include or remove the profile from the role explorer. You can add page customizations to a specified profile.

In addition to the language support, this feature adds coverage in IntelliSense, AL Explorer, and analyzer rules.

The following code example shows a profile extension:
