Adding Permission Sets to User Groups in Business Central

This is what happens in the video

User groups in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central let you manage permissions for several users at once. A user group is a collection of permission sets, and by adding a permission set to the group, every user in that group gets the new permissions automatically.

To add a permission set to a user group, open User Groups, select the group you want to change, open its User Group Permission Sets, and add the permission set you need. Once you add it, every user in that group has the additional permissions in Business Central.

What user groups are in Business Central

A user group is a collection of permission sets. Instead of assigning permissions to each user individually, you gather the relevant permission sets into a group. Any user who belongs to that group inherits all the permission sets it contains.

This makes it easier to keep permissions consistent across users who share the same role, for example a group of accountants.

How to add a permission set to a user group

Adding a permission set to an existing user group is straightforward:

• Open User Groups in Business Central.
• Select the group you want to update, for example the Accountants group.
• Open the User Group Permission Sets for that group.
• Add another permission set by selecting the one you want the group to have.

After you add the permission set, the group has the new permissions. In the example, the user group called Accountants now has more permissions in Business Central, and that change applies to every user in the group.
