How to: Specify When UI Elements Are Removed

  • Artikel

Depending on the setting in the UI Elements Removal field in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool, only user interface (UI) elements on objects in the license or on objects that the user has permissions to will appear in the user interface.

All types of UI elements will be removed if they relate to objects that are not included in the license or the user does not have the required permission to the objects:

  • Fields

  • Actions

  • Page parts

    UI elements that are directly related to an object through the TableRelation or the CalcFormula property can be removed automatically according to the license file and/or user permissions.

    For UI elements that are not directly related to an object, you can use the AccessByPermission property to remove the element according to the user’s permission to a related object. For more information, see How to: Remove UI Elements Using the AccessByPermission Property.

    To make full use of the LicenseFileAndUserPermissions option in the UI Elements Removal field, it is recommended that you assign the special permission set, FOUNDATION, along with the relevant permission sets that define which application objects the user will access.

Important

The majority of the permission sets that are provided with the CRONUS demonstration database cannot be combined with the FOUNDATION permission set to fully use the UI Elements Removal feature. You must first create or edit the relevant permission sets to avoid that the user is blocked from performing the involved tasks. For more information, see How to: Create or Modify Permission Sets.

If you only use the LicenseFile option in the UI Elements Removal field, then you do not have to edit any permission sets as they will not affect which UI elements are removed.

To specify when UI elements are removed

  1. Open the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool. For more information, see Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration Tool.

  2. In the UI Elements Removal field, choose the relevant option as described in the following table.

    Option Description
    None All UI elements are displayed, even if the license file does not include the related object and the user does not have permissions to the related object.
    LicenseFile A UI element is removed if the related object is not included in the license file.
    LicenseFileAndUserPermissions A UI element is removed if the related object is not included in the license file and the user does not have permissions to the object as defined in the AccessByPermission property for the related UI element.

    By default, this option is selected.

Tip

When you configure user interfaces in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you should make sure that the UI Elements Removal field is set to its default, LicenseFileAndUserPermissions, so that you only see the relevant UI elements in the Customize window. For more information, see Profiles and Role Centers.

When you develop in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you should make sure that the UI Elements Removal field is set to None to make sure that all UI elements are visible when you review your development in the UI.
