Minimum Required Permissions to Log in Business central

In this post, we’ll break down the minimum required permissions a user needs to log in successfully to Business Central.

✅ What Is the LOGIN Permission Set?

The LOGIN permission set is designed to provide the minimum access needed to sign in to Business Central.
It gives users just enough permission to:

  • Authenticate and access the system.

  • See the company list.

  • View their own user details.

⚠️ What It Doesn't Include

The LOGIN set does not give access to:

  • Role Centers (home pages)

  • Pages, reports, or data

  • Any business functionality

As a result, a user assigned only the LOGIN permission set can log in successfully, but they will encounter a permission error when trying to navigate the system.


 How to Fix the Role Center Access Issue

Here, the user is assigned only the LOGIN permission set, with no additional roles or page access.



As a result, when attempting to sign in, they encounter a permission error, because they do not have access to open any Role Center page or interface elements.


To resolve this, you must create and assign a permission set that includes Execute permission on the required Role Center page. Add Execute permission for the required Role Center Page ID (e.g., ID 9022 for Business Manager).


Assign this new set alongside the LOGIN set to the user.

Once done, the user will be able to log in and land on the correct home screen, as shown below:


Even though the user can now log in and view the Role Center, they still cannot access any pages, tables, or reports. This is expected, as the user hasn’t been granted permission to specific modules or data.

  • 🔐 How to assign permissions based on modules

  • 📄 Granting access to specific pages, tables, and reports

Dynamics 365 Business Central: Enabling Custom and Default Tables in the "Search Company Data" Feature

 Hi Colleagues, Today, we will discuss how we can search custom table data using the " Search Company Data " feature in Business Central. For more information regarding the " Search Company Data " feature, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation: Search Company Data I have added a test customer to the default customer table.  and created three test entries in the Test Header custom table. To search for data, enter one or more keywords in the "Tell Me" search box. Alternatively, when you run "Tell Me" in the context of an editable page, it will automatically search for the value in the currently selected field. Click on " Search Company Data ". Here, you can see that the search results include the top results from the tables you have access to. However, custom table data is not showing in the list.

Customizing Headers and Footers in Business Central Reports RDLC: First Page and Last Page Tricks Suppose you are working on a report, and there is a requirement for the header to appear only on the first page and the footer to appear only on the last page of the document.  It's always a good practice to check if there are properties available that can simplify your task.

Dynamic 365 Business central: How to Automatically Insert Line Breaks After a Specific Character Limit

Image
Suppose, you may have a requirement to break long text into multiple lines after a certain number of characters in Business Central. For example, when dealing with lengthy descriptions in fields like "Work Description," it's important to ensure the text wraps properly to maintain readability. In this scenario, I have implemented a solution using a tableextension to automatically insert line breaks after a specified character length (45 characters in this case). The code takes the input string, breaks it into lines, and formats it accordingly before writing it back to the "Work Description" field. This ensures that the text is displayed in a neat and user-friendly manner in the system. Code:   tableextension 50140 MyExtension extends "Sales Header" {     trigger OnInsert()     var         TypeHelper: Codeunit "Type Helper";         Crlf: Text[2];         InputString: Text[2048];       ...
