Dynamics 365 Business Central: Reporting and data analysis - Use new APIs for analyzing permissions for auditors and IT staff Beta
Data as of 2 hours ago (26 October 2026)
Description
In this release wave, we're introducing read-only APIs on the permission system. This allows for establishing security and auditing analytics and reporting outside Business Central—for example, creating reports with Power BI or agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio and MCP Server for Business Central. The APIs are read-only and allow querying for: Permission Set Object, Scope, Extension info, and Permission Set Permission Set and Security Group mappings Permission Set and User mappings We're also introducing a new permission set that allows you to use the new permission APIs. This shouldn't be granted to standard users, but might be included in security-related permission sets. Business Value: The new read-only permission APIs empower businesses to strengthen security and compliance by enabling external auditing and analytics without compromising system integrity. With seamless integration into tools like Power BI and Microsoft Copilot Studio, organizations can create advanced reports and intelligent agents for deeper insights. This capability enhances transparency, supports regulatory requirements, and accelerates decision-making by providing secure, real-time access to permission data. Ultimately, it helps businesses maintain robust governance while unlocking new opportunities for automation and analytics. Enabled for: Enabled for end users automatically
