SUPER, the dreaded permission set in Dynamics 365 BC

Users with the SUPER permission set in Dynamics 365 Business Central have full access to the system. They can, for example, modify vendor data, post purchase invoices, and create payment proposals. This makes the use of SUPER rights a significant risk.

Although some actions, such as managing user accounts and permission sets, traditionally require SUPER rights, this is no longer necessary. With some attention, structured management, and some useful tools, these tasks can be safely performed without using SUPER rights.

SUPER rights no longer needed!

The solution lies in using the Authorization Box, a cloud application developed by 2-Controlware. This tool allows organizations to manage authorizations without requiring users to have SUPER rights. The Authorization Box communicates with Business Central via web services, making a special technical account with SUPER rights sufficient for integration. Administrators therefore do not need this right in Business Central, which significantly reduces risk. Users only receive permission sets to perform specific processes associated with their role.

With the Authorization Box, permission sets can be grouped into organizational roles. Instead of assigning individual permission sets, you assign a user a specific role, such as "accounts payable employee". Each organizational role specifies which permission sets are needed to perform all tasks within the function. This saves time and reduces the complexity of managing user rights.

Workflow for authorization requests

The Authorization Box also provides a workflow for authorization requests with optional approval. When a colleague joins or leaves the company, authorization requests can be submitted and approved by, for example, a controller or department manager. This ensures controlled and efficient authorization management.

Conclusion

By implementing the Authorization Box, permission sets with SUPER rights are no longer necessary, allowing organizations to minimize their risks while achieving efficient and controlled authorization management.
