Analyzing permission dependency cycle trace telemetry
APPLIES TO: Business Central 2022 release wave 1 and later
A permission dependency cycle occurs when a permission set depends on itself, which can happen when you build permissions sets that include other permission sets. For example, suppose you create a permission set Y that includes permission set X. If you then try modify permission set X to include permission set Y, you create a dependency cycle. When you create a permission dependency cycle in the Business Central client, you get an error similar to the following message:
The permission set [XX] has a circular reference on path [XX]->[YY]->[XX].
This telemetry data let's you identify and analyze permission problems that users might experience in Business Central.
