How to: Create Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users

  • Artigo

To create a new user in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, use the Users window in the RoleTailored client.

Important

It is not necessary to create user logins for Microsoft Dynamics NAV users in SQL Server.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 supports the following credential authorization mechanisms for Microsoft Dynamics NAV users:

  • Windows

  • UserName

  • NavUserPassword

  • AccessControlService

This topic contains separate procedures for creating users for each credential authentication mechanism. For information about how to configure RoleTailored clients and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance for a specific authentication scheme, see Users and Credential Types.

Note

The following procedures describe how to create users for a single credential type, but you can create users that are valid for multiple credential types, as long as you configure the appropriate settings for each credential type in the New - User Card window. For example, you could create a user who would automatically be logged on without having to present credentials when the credential type is Windows, but would be prompted for a user name (the value of the User Name field) and a password when the credential type is UserName.
