Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 will soon be released (due late May/early June and, as with previous releases, Microsoft have started a Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Team blog. As I have done with the last three series, I’ll be reposting these blog posts here with a little commentary.
The twelfth Feature of the Day is Self Service User Tasks and Roles.
In the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 release a Self Service user type was added; this user type will enable users that only require very limited access to the system a less expensive option to perform tasks such as entering payroll time, entering project time and expenses, or creating a requisition.
This feature also includes Employee Self Service Security Roles and the ability to filter on security tasks available for each user type, which will make the task and role assignment more efficient.
Nice to see that the new user type is also getting some easing of the setup of the roles and tasks. This is one area that, despite the default roles and tasks available, seems to daunt a lot of new users to the system.
