Duties

Duties correspond to parts of a business process. The administrator assigns duties
to security roles. A duty can be assigned to more than one role.
In the security model for Microsoft Dynamics AX, duties contain privileges. For
example, the Maintain bank transactions duty contains the Generate deposit
slips and Cancel payments privileges. Although both duties and privileges can
be assigned to security roles, we recommend that you use duties to grant access
to Microsoft Dynamics AX.

You can assign related duties to separate roles. These duties are said to be
segregated. By segregating duties, you can better comply with regulatory
requirements, such as those from Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). In addition, segregation of duties helps reduce the risk of
fraud, and helps you detect errors or irregularities.

Default duties are provided. The administrator can modify the privileges that are
associated with a duty, or create new duties.
