Features Enabled by the Business Connector key

Areas affected

Comments

Controls access to Business Connector.

Members of the user group can access Business Connector. Business Connector allows other applications to access Microsoft Dynamics AX components.

Subnode keys are automatically enabled when the Business Connector key is enabled.

Remarks

Enable Business Connector security keys for user groups that access Microsoft Dynamics AX directly using one of the following types of applications:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio add-ins, including the Enterprise Portal and Reporting add-ins for Visual Studio

  • Third-party applications that connect to MSDAX directly using Business Connector

Do not enable Business Connector security keys for user groups that only access Microsoft Dynamics AX using the Business Connector proxy. In previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX, you were required to enable Business Connector security keys so user groups could access Enterprise Portal and the Application Integration Framework. You are no longer required to enable the Business Connector security key for users that access Microsoft Dynamics AX using the Business Connector proxy.
