TestPermissions Property

Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.

Specifies a value that can be used to determine which permission sets are used on tests that are run by test codunits or test functions.

Applies to

• Codeunit

Property Value

Value	Available or changed with	Description
InheritFromTestCodeunit	runtime version 1.0	Is only relevant for test methods; not test codeunits. It specifies that a test method uses the TestPermissions property setting of the test codeunit to which it belongs. If you use this value on a test codunit, the property will resolve to Restrictive at runtime.
Restrictive	runtime version 1.0	This is the default value. Setting the Restrictive value will cause the permission execution context of every test in the codeunit to be set by default to 'D365 Full Access’. It is required to lower the level of permissions within every test to any permission sets other than 'D365 Full Access’. Otherwise, it will result in a runtime error. The change of the permission execution context is supported by Codeunit "Library - Lower Permissions".
NonRestrictive	runtime version 1.0	Setting the NonRestrictive value will cause that the permission execution context of every test in the codeunit is set to 'D365 Full Access’. Opposite to Restrictive, setting the TestPermissions property to NonRestrictive does not require a change of permissions.
Disabled	runtime version 1.0	Setting this value will exclude any change of the permission execution context and all tests will be executed using SUPER.

Syntax

TestPermissions = Disabled;

Remarks

The default value of TestPermissions is Restrictive. The TestPermissions property works together with the OnBeforeTestRun and OnAfterTestRun triggers in test runner codeunits. The value of the TestPermissions property is passed as a parameter to the test runner codeunit triggers. The permission sets that are used during a test are determined by the code that you add to the triggers. Typically, you use the OnBeforeTestRun trigger to apply permissions sets and the OnAfterTestRun trigger to clear permissions sets.

Tests have the TestPermissions property by default set to Restrictive. With the Permissions Mock system app in the test framework library, you can mock permissions when running unit tests. The Permissions Mock module can be used to add permissions sets to the running test user, or limit the user's permissions.

For more information, see the open source test library Permissions Mock.

Note

To specify the permission sets that are used by the tests run by a specific test method, use the TestPermissions Attribute.
