Our customer began implementing D365 Finance & Operations less than a year before using Fastpath. The goal was to refine their permissions during implementation to lower license costs and ensure appropriate access. Choosing not to solely rely on Microsoft’s out-of-the-box ruleset which was believed to grant excessive access to employees, they turned to Fastpath as their first solution. Their priority was to generate quick and accurate reports detailing the roles they employed and assigned within the system.

Fastpath has reporting capabilities that allow organizations to see users, roles, duties, and privileges. While the main purpose of these reports is security, they do an excellent job of laying out which license types are needed. Fastpath’s Security Designer allows you to review the potential risks associated with granting a user access and modifying roles, duties, and privileges before making the changes. Because Fastpath implementation only took a few days, our customer was immediately able to narrow security and lower operational level licenses. Fastpath’s security designer ensures that their employees have only the access they need in D365FO and no extra.
