In any corporation, some users are restricted to work with specific sensitive data because of its confidentiality or company policies, and this type of data access authorization can be managed using extensible data security (XDS). XDS is the evolution of the record-level security (RLS) that was available in the previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Also, Microsoft keeps the RLS in version AX 2012, so you can refer to it at any time.
The topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:
The main concepts of XDS policies
Designing and developing the XDS policy
Creating the XDS policy
Adding constrained tables and views
Setting the XDS policy context
Debugging the XDS policy
