When you are faced with a mountain of decisions and paralyzed by uncertainty and doubt, defining Dynamics AX security can be a daunting task that is often delayed for months or years after cutover. When security roles and permissions are well defined the application is pared down to present modules, forms, fields and data that your end users need to do their job in an efficient manner.

At AX Enterprises, Inc. we've found the scientific method provides the best structure to defining your security requirements.

• Define the role
• Gather information and requirments
• Formalize an approach for the role
• Define security settings and test the functionality
• Analyze results
• Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for revisions
• Publish results
• Retest (frequently done by other consultants or the customer)
