Limited Users in Dynamics GP 2013 R2 – Security Insight

A very common issue that has been seen recently with among Dynamics GP client is the access of the limited user, you always encounter a simple question and proceed with several clicks and checks to reach an answer or “Yes it has access or No it doesn’t have an access” on this specific window.

It is worth saying that the answer is just there at the tips of your fingers. When opening the security task window, a new icon has been added to “denote windows available to limited user types”. See below:

  1. Hey Mahmood,
    Great post about this new 'added' Limit user type for the GP security... I'll improve my own security reports in Excel to take care of this..
    Will also check for GP2015R2 the new Self-Service user type, and if MS added another flag for that.
