How to: Work with the BASIC Permission Set
When a user creates a new database, that user is assigned only one permission set automatically: the SUPER permission set. As you create and define permission sets in a new database and companies, remember to always assign the BASIC permission set, which grants users access to required system tables and other fundamental tables, to all users.
The BASIC permission set primarily functions as a prerequisite to open the client and show all pages.
The BASIC permission set and permissions, as well as other permission sets, are provided in an XML file, examples of which are included with the CRONUS International Ltd. demonstration database. If you want to extend them with new permission sets or permissions, you can modify them.
Note
Another prerequisite permission set is the FOUNDATION permission set.
If you want to use the UI Elements Removal feature to automatically remove UI elements according to user permissions, it is recommended that you use the FOUNDATION permission set together with the relevant application permission sets. For more information, see Removing Elements from the User Interface According to Permissions.
Modifying the BASIC Permission Set with Default Permissions

You can also modify permission sets directly in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client. For more information, see How to: Create or Modify Permission Sets. In addition, if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Dynamics NAV, you can upgrade permissions and roles as part of the upgrade process. For more information, see Upgrading the Data.
Note
Depending on the setting in the UI Elements Removal field in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool, only UI elements that the user has permissions for will appear in the user interface. For more information, see How to: Specify When UI Elements Are Removed.
