Configure Microsoft Dynamics AX by entering license codes in the form, and by enabling or disabling configuration keys in the form. You must be an administrator to enter license codes and change configuration keys.
By entering license codes, the administrator enables the general functionality covered by the license. Then, the administrator can enable or disable access to more specific features by changing the configuration.
After the license codes are entered and the configuration keys are set up, you must create and set up user groups and domains to control access to the individual parts of the functionality for individual users.
Configuration keys should be defined so that only the features that are needed are enabled. By disabling configuration keys, administrators can reduce the potential surface of attack. This helps increase the security of the Microsoft Dynamics AX installation.
Example
For example, you have a license for the General ledger module. By selecting the - configuration key, the collection letter functionality is enabled. Then you grant permissions to one or more user groups to create and send out collection letters.
