[X++] SysEntryPointAttribute parameter
When writing custom services an often used attribute is the SysEntryPointAttribute
to decorate the service entry method to be called from the framework.
This attribute takes one argument of type boolean.
[SysEntryPointAttribute(false)]
The AIF Document Service classes also have this attribute set to true
by default when generating via the wizard.
But what does this parameter control?
There is a good reference on TechNet:
true
[SysEntryPointAttribute(true)]
Indicates authorization checks are performed on the calling user for all tables accessed by the method.
false
[SysEntryPointAttribute(false)]
Indicates authorization checks are not performed on any tables accessed by the method.
Conclusion
When setting the parameter to false, only the access rights from the menu item or calling instance are checked, not for every table the method will access.
So sometimes settings this parameter to true
will cause trouble when the user has the respective roles and duties assigned but not explicit rights for certain tables.
A good default value will be to set it to false
.
