Finding that hidden security setting

I have stumbled onto a great site to use when I need to find which security task includes a particular GP screen. http://www.gpwindow.com/securitysearch.php I agree with your comment not to give in and assign Power User Role out of frustration! Thanks for your article, Mark. It is right on the money! Bill Schulz

Using Support Debugging Tool

You can't go past the Support Debugging Tool when trying to troubleshoot security inside Dynamics GP. Just turn on the profiler and you can see exactly what is going on. You can also look at which users are assigned which roles - either by role or by user. Thanks Mark - I will have check out the SYSADMIN options more. Especially for use with PSTL.
