Update: Add User PermissionSet to NAV

Introduction:

In Dynamics NAV Users Page, a SUPER User has the ability to add more specific user permissions to another user.
However, while adding permission if the User mistakenly adds the company name to a SUPER Permission Set for all companies.




This is actually a trap, as the user did not remove any permissions but only added by mistake and after adding this value, the data cannot be again set to BLANK.

Pre-requisites:

  • Understanding of NAV Powershell Module
  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Demonstration:

In my previous blog LINK, I discussed about a workaround to this issue using SQL and NAV Users pages.
In this blog I will be sharing the steps to do the same using PowerShell Commands.


Using the Powershell Command
New-NAVServerUserPermissionSet -PermissionSetId SUPER -ServerInstance <ServerInstanceName> -WindowsAccount <WindowsUserName>



Conclusion:

Using the New-NAVUserPermissionSet definitely works adding SUPER PermissionsSet to the User.

I hope this helps!!
