Least Privilege, Max Security

Develop and Implement Least Privilege Security for Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

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 E-book, we will walk through the necessary steps to take a least privilege methodology to secure your Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (D365FO) 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.
