Security Myth: Applying company restrictions to just the system user role

On his blog, Alex Meyer wrote that securing ERP systems is often complicated and rarely straightforward. He stated that over the years, he’s heard many ideas for creating an “easy fix” to set up or manage security. However, most of these approaches don’t follow best practices, and some can even be outright wrong, putting your organization at risk of security breaches.

With that in mind, Meyer explained that he’s decided to start an ongoing series about the common “security myths” he’s encountered. He noted that although he’ll focus on D365 F&O, these lessons usually apply to other ERP systems as well.

In this blog post, Meyer discussed one myth in detail: You can restrict legal entity/company access within D365 F&O by just restricting the system user role.
