Security Groups in 4PS Construct Business Central Admin Centre, what are they and how to do I use them?

Did you know that in Business Central you can now add an extra level of security to your environments at the admin centre level?

What type of security can we add?

This extra level of security prevents users from logging into the Business Central environment, even if they have a full user licence and super permissions.

How does it work?

Your Business Central tenant is connected to your Azure tenant, which is how users are authenticated when logging in. Within the same Azure tenant, you can add users to Azure groups and then link that group to the Business Central environment. Should a user not be in a group and that group be linked to an environment, they will not be able to gain access.

In what situations would this be useful?

This security level might be useful if you were testing the next release of Business Central and wanted to keep the testing limited to a particular team, or, if you have separate Business Central instances per business unit, you could prevent employees from moving within environments.

In the example shown below, if the user is not in the BC Prod Users group, then they will receive a message stating they do not have access and to contact their administrator.
