If you want to do any reporting on Microsoft Dynamics GP application level security from the SQL Server level, you need to use the Security Resource Descriptions (SY09400) table to map the Resources Type, Dictionary ID and Security/Resource ID to actual named resources that make sense to humans.
I have often seen questions raised about why some systems have all the resources listed in this table and other systems only have a subset of the resources or the table is empty.
Cybersecurity is back in the news this week.
The WannaCry ransomware or crypto-virus has infected many computers around the world and highlighted that the threat of scams, viruses, trojans, worms and ransomware is very real and that you need to be forever vigilant to keep your systems and your data safe.
In this article I want to remind everyone of some easy and simple ways to keep yourself safe.
As GP Power Tools approaches release, it is time to continue the What’s New series and explain another of the new features added to the product.
You can now enable Security Activity Tracking to collect statistical data on the usage of the various resources and security objects within the system.

Following on from the release of the Support Debugging Tool Build 17 hotfix, I am releasing a hotfix 2 build.
It turns out that some of the changes in the way the Support Debugging Tool adds buttons to the Standard Toolbar were still not perfect. We had a few reports that when the SDT dictionary was installed, newly created users would be missing their menus. The solution was to remove the SDT from the system and recreate the user, or to use SQL to drop the contents of the menu and toolbar tables, which will force them to be recreated.

I recently joined Microsoft as a Partner Consultant for the Global Partner Services team. I have been associated for more than 8 years in the design, development and implementation of Microsoft Dynamics GP in India, Middle East and US.

It has been a while since we had a new build of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP. So we have decided to release Build 14. This is primarily a maintenance release with bug fixes, minor enhancements and a couple of new features.

I am still surprised how many times questions appear on the newsgroups and forums asking about which Security Tasks and Security Roles are needed to access a particular window. It has been a while since I posted anything about the Support Debugging Tool, and this seems like a perfect opportunity to show how simple it is to use the Support Debugging Tool to find this information.
