Security Views For Use In SmartList Designer: Group Based Company Access In Management Reporter

Microsoft Dynamics GPA while ago, I did a series of views on the Microsoft Dynamics GP security model. Well, a little after that I wrote a couple of scripts to allow the security configuration of Management Reporter to easily be enquired upon.

This, the second Management Reporter security script, shows security for users as granted by their Group membership. the previous post, on Friday, showed the user based company access.

The view is configured to read the security from a database called ManagementReporter and assumes the user who runs the report has select permissions on this database and relevant tables.

IF OBJECT_ID (N'uv_AZRCRV_GetManagementReporterGroupBasedSecurity', N'V') IS NOT NULL
	DROP VIEW uv_AZRCRV_GetManagementReporterGroupBasedSecurity
GO
CREATE VIEW uv_AZRCRV_GetManagementReporterGroupBasedSecurity AS
