Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements: User Security Workflow

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements series where I am going hands on with the workflow enhancements of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The second workflow enhancement is the addition of a user security workflow type. With this workflow, any change to a user’s security needs to be approved before it becomes active. There is an audit of the changes held, so that the users current security access is not impacted by the changes, until after they are approved. The workflow is created and maintained in the same way as any other workflow:

User Security Workflow

I did some testing and this workflow worked well. I was able to update the roles for a user and not have them take effect until approved. The fact the user workflow doesn’t work is, I believe, irrelevant as tghis is the workflow which will control what the user can do in Dynamics GP.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements: User Workflow

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements series where I am going hands on with the workflow enhancements of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The first of the workflow enhancements is Workflow approval for the adding of new or amending of existing users. The workflow process is created in the same way as existing workflows:

Workflow Maintenance showing a User Approval workflow

I created and tested this workflow type and cannot get it to have any effect. Whether I create a new user or amend an existing one, the user account is fully usdable without any approval being done, even when the user shows that it is pending approval.
