Use the Security Task Setup window to grant access to windows, reports, files, and other resources within Microsoft Dynamics GP that users need to access to complete specific tasks. To open this window, click the Administration series button and click Security Tasks on the Setup content pane.

 

FIGURE 1: SECURITY TASK SETUP WINDOW

 

 

Some security tasks are created by default in Microsoft Dynamics GP. For example, the DEFAULTUSER task allows users to access items that most users need in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

 

New tasks can also be created in this window. To create a new security task enter a Task ID, Task Name, and Task Description. Then, grant access to the resources needed to complete the task. Security tasks can also be created for some integrating products used with Microsoft Dynamics GP. 

When creating a new security task, copy security settings from an existing task into the task you are creating to save time. Click the Copy button and select the task to copy from, then click OK.
