Customization: Access Rights for Custom Forms

MYOB Acumatica 2025.1 introduces improved management of access rights for custom forms.

Addition of Access Rights

In MYOB Acumatica 2024 R1, if a developer created a form and did not add access rights for this form to the customization project, the system assigned the Revoked access rights to the form for all user roles. As a result, the developer could not open the form after the customization project was published.

In MYOB Acumatica 2025.1, the system adds to the customization project the Delete access rights for the Customizer role for each new form. The developer can now test new forms without specifying access rights explicitly. After the developer has tested the changes, a system administrator can add the needed access rights to the customization project.

Changes to the Customization Project Editor

When a developer creates a new form, the system displays a message that access rights will be added to the customization project. The the following screenshot shows the Create Screen dialog box with this message. (This dialog box opens when the developer clicks Create Screen on the page toolbar of the Customized Screens page.)

After the developer clicks Create in the dialog box, the system adds the needed elements to the respective pages, as it did in previous versions. The following screenshot shows the Access Rights page with the added access rights (see Item 1). Notice that the Apply and Keep merge rule has been selected for these access rights (Item 2). This option indicates that the system will apply the access rights from the customization project to the form and keep them unchanged for the roles that are not included in the customization project.
