Create or modify a security privilege, duty, or process cycle
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
If the security privileges, duties, and process cycles that are provided with Microsoft Dynamics AX do not meet the requirements of your business, you can create new privileges, duties, and process cycles.
Tips
Security is organized hierarchically. Permissions on specific application elements are combined into privileges, privileges are combined into duties, and duties are grouped into process cycles. You can assign either duties or privileges to roles. For more information about the security hierarchy, see Security architecture.
Only the Microsoft Dynamics AX administrator can create or modify a security privilege, duty, or process cycle.
For information about how privileges, duties, and process cycles are used in the security model for Microsoft Dynamics AX, see About role-based security.
