Feature-level permissions are much more user-friendly and practical. Traditional permissions on codeunits, tables and other objects can be overly technical, making them difficult for most users to understand and manage.

By aligning permissions with system features, this approach simplifies access management, enhances usability, and improves overall efficiency.

Here are five examples on how this could look like:

1. Sales Order Management

Grant users access to create, edit, and approve sales orders without exposing unrelated tables or reports, streamlining the sales process.

2. Inventory Tracking

Allow warehouse staff to view stock levels, update inventory counts, and track item movements, all within the inventory management feature.

3. Employee Time Entry

Enable employees to log working hours and managers to approve timesheets without requiring access to the entire HR module or related tables.

4. Financial Reporting

Provide accountants with access to generate, export, and view financial reports while restricting access to underlying data tables.

5. Vendor Management

Allow procurement staff to manage vendor profiles, view purchase history, and create purchase orders, focusing solely on vendor-related actions.
