Security Code Permission Properties

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

A code permission is a group of permissions that are associated with a menu item or a service operation. When a security role has access to a menu item, the role also has access to other AOT items that are mentioned within the code permission for the menu item. The degree of access is controlled by the particular permissions that are defined under the code permission node.

Securable Objects

Code permissions are used to give access to securable objects. The following list shows the hierarchy of code permission nodes in the AOT:

• Security

  • Code Permissions

    • YourCodePermission

      • Tables

      • Server Methods

      • Associated Objects

        • Forms

        • Web Controls

        • Reports

Code permissions can also override the access levels to securable objects under the Associated Objects node.
