Microsoft Dynamics NAV provides a set of standard permission sets. A permission set is a collection of permissions for specific objects in the database. All users must be assigned one or more permission sets before they can access Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

| Depending on the setting in the UI Elements Removal field in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool, only UI elements that the user has permissions for will appear in the user interface. For more information, see Removing Elements from the User Interface According to Permissions. |
A number of predefined permission sets are provided by default in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. You can use these permission sets as already defined, modify the default permission sets, or create additional permission sets.

| A table can contain a FlowField that generates sums based on values that are stored in another table. In this case, users must have permission to read both tables or they will not be able to read the first table. |
