Removing access to general ledger entries with standard permission sets in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Writing on the RSM blog, Spencer Coulter noted that if you’ve implemented Dynamics NAV or Dynamics 365 Business Central you’ve heard the requirement, “But they shouldn’t be able to see general ledger details” as many times as you’ve implemented the product.

Although you may have tried a number of things to remedy the situation, you can do it just using base system security functionality and some filters once you understand the process, Coulter stated.

In his blog post, Coulter explained the process to remove access to general ledger entries with standard permission sets.
