Field and data level Security and Compliance

Are you looking to control what data users can view and edit in Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Controlling which users have access to what data in Dynamics 365 Business Central is crucial for both keeping data secure and providing a good user experience. Whether you want to prevent one region from viewing another region’s data, or whether you want to ensure that users only have access to the data they need for their specific role, Advance Cloud Security is here to give administrators the control they need!

Advanced Cloud Security is the best way to control user access in Dynamics 365 Business Central

With the Advanced Cloud Security application, your administrators will have control over the fields and controls on every page of Dynamics 365 Business Central so you can manage what data users can view and edit. Advanced Cloud Security enables you to:

  • Increase data privacy by giving you full control over what data users can access. Restricting data access can minimize the chance of a security breach as a result of either human error or a cyber-attack
  • Improve user experience by only giving users access to what they need, reducing overwhelm and making it much easier for them to focus on the data specific to their needs
  • Elevate user control by making it easy to manage which users can access sensitive data in Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • Enforce data privacy across regions by localizing employee permissions so they can only access information relevant to their region

Advanced Cloud Security Features

  • Field Control - to specify if a field should be visible or not to a particular user(s)
  • Page Control - to specify if a user can access a particular page
  • Action Control - to control whether a user can perform an action or not
  • Data Access Filter - to enable administrators to apply a dynamic filter whenever a table is accessed
All of these controls can be bundled together into Security Features that can be assigned to an individual user, a group of users or a permission set. When a user logs on to Dynamics 365 Business Central, Advanced Cloud Security will cache the settings that apply to that user from all three places.

Data Compliance

Keeps your data clean and audit-ready by automatically validating key fields and flagging issues in real time. Block non-compliant records from being used in journals, sales, and purchasing, and add optional approvals for a simple “review before use” workflow—without slowing the business down.
  • Field-level compliance rules with formulas: Mark records compliant/non-compliant based on “Not blank” checks and powerful expressions (e.g., price ≥ cost * margin), without writing code.

  • Automatically blocks risky processes: Prevent users from using non-compliant master data in journals, sales/purchase lines, and document release/posting via event/field-event blocking.

  • Built-in approvals (“human in the loop”): Route compliance changes to an approver or group, with auto-approve for designated users and configurable timing (after checks pass/fail).

  • “Store for approval” option: Keep the record compliant by storing proposed changes until approval—avoids operational downtime from temporary non-compliance.

  • Embedded UI + audit trail: Compliance Status section on cards/lists, Compliance Overview per record, and change logging showing who changed what and when.
