What is a 'Security Role' in Dynamics 365?

In Dynamics 365, a 'Security Role' serves as a crucial mechanism for managing and controlling user access and permissions within the application. It defines what actions users can perform and what data they can view or modify, essentially establishing a framework for security governance. Each role can include different permissions related to various areas of the application, such as sales, service, or marketing, allowing organizations to dictate access based on job functions.

This role-based access control not only helps in maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the data but also ensures that users have access only to those functionalities that are necessary for their roles, enhancing organizational security and compliance. By assigning specific security roles to users, administrators can effectively manage and tailor access to meet the needs of the organization while safeguarding sensitive information.
