Least Privilege, Max Security for AX

Develop and Implement Least Privilege Security for Dynamics AX

We are all concerned with security – in every aspect of our lives. We are especially concerned with security and control when it comes to our business processes. In this eBook we will walk through the necessary steps to take a least privilege methodology to secure your Microsoft Dynamics AX environment. The least privilege methodology is the process of reducing a user’s access, so they are only allowed to perform the tasks necessary within the application. This is important for several reasons:

• Environment Risk – if a user has more access than needed, they may intentionally or inadvertently perform actions that could put your company at risk.
• User Licensing – since licensing is tied to user access, ensuring least privilege access is followed could save your company money on licensing costs.
• Segregation of Duties – following the same idea as environment risk, if a user has more access than needed, they may have unnecessary segregation of duties violations that go unaddressed.
