Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 - Security Architecture Overview

One of the area's that has some really cool, and new improvements is around the Security Architecture in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

This includes things, like Claims Based Security, which can enable the use of Federated Trust, for granted role based security rights to non-AD user ids. I wrote about this some, back in March of this year.: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and the use of Claims Based Security

Now on TechNet, we have a nice article that explains the overall Security Architecture, and it's purpose as well as approach, located here.: TechNet: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Security Architecture

With this, we see Security Roles relating to Duties and also Privileges. The Priviledges, are then tied to objects in and outside of Microsoft Dynamics AX core, that make up the total solution for a given customer.

So there are technical improvements with this new release, like the ability to make use of Claims Based Security, and also, through the improvements of having duties, and being able to seperate duties among people, for roles, in different given business units or entities.

This is part of the overall message from Microsoft, that Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is Powerfully Simple.

That's all for now, but check back soon as more to come, including soon a new blog design, as I relaunch this blog, entering it into it's v2.0 state! Till next time!
