Security tasks

Security tasks are groups of operations that users can perform in Microsoft Dynamics GP. Microsoft Dynamics GP contains numerous predefined tasks. One task in Microsoft Dynamics GP has special significance. The DEFAULTUSER task contains all of the operations that every user of the system can perform. If you have resources in your integration that every user should be able to access, you will add them to the DEFAULTUSER task.

Security task elements

Each security task has the following elements:

Task ID   This value uniquely identifies the security task. When creating new security tasks, be sure to follow the naming convention used for the predefined tasks in Microsoft Dynamics GP. The task names use the following convention:
