Checking table access from code

If you need to check if the current user has access to a certain table in Ax, this little job will help you out:


boolean CheckSecurityTable(TableId myTableId)

{ SysDictTable SysDictTable;
;
SysDictTable = new SysDictTable(myTableId);
if(SysDictTable.rights()<AccessType::View)
return false;


return true;
}


If you like your code a little more condensed, you could always use the built-in function hastableaccess. For example:

if(hastableaccess(tablenum(SalesLine),AccessType::View))
return true;


Something similar, but now with a menuitem:


boolean CheckSecurityMenu(MenuName myMenuName)

{ SysDictMenu SysDictMenu;
;
SysDictMenu = SysDictMenu::newMenuItem(myMenuName,MenuItemType::Display);
if(SysDictMenu.rights()<AccessType::View)
return false;


return true;
}
