D365 security with Business Units

Do you have multiple regions that work inside your D365 organization?  If you do, you’ve probably taken advantage of grouping each into a separate Business Unit.  The advantage of doing this allows you to configure security roles. The security roles grant end users access to records only assigned in their region or all related child regions (if they are in a parent).

Power BI User Security

Power BI is a tool that allows companies to display visuals of their data from multiple applications.  For this reason, it would be difficult for the service to attempt to understand the underlying security structure behind each source.  So how do you secure your data?  Like other applications, Power BI offers its own security features which you can easily apply to the entire dashboard and datasets.  As previously mentioned, you can select which users to share your Dashboards to.  Most noteworthy, it offers a feature called Row Level Security, or “RLS”, which can be applied to each dataset.

Adding Business Logic to your Dynamics 365 Forms

JavaScript and Business Rules

Are you considering a new project with Dynamics 365 or looking to upgrade from an old version of Dynamics CRM/AX?  In Dynamics 365, both JavaScript and Business Rules allow you to add business logic to your forms.  For example, conditionally hiding fields or enforcing field requirements.

They both work in a variety of environments outside of the native Dynamics 365 web browser version, including Dynamics 365 for tablets and even the Dynamics 365 Outlook app (online or offline mode).  However, you should be aware of some recognized differences and limitations of each.
