Security and Compliance Studio


Security and Compliance Studio for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Supply Chain Management helps establish policies that enable customers to optimize and maintain their licensing, security, user management and audit processes more efficiently and reliably than ever before.

In Security and Compliance Studio, the functionality is divided across these workspaces:

  • Security management
  • Integrated risk management
  • Security audit
  • License optimization
  • Security and compliance file share

In D365 F&SCM, the security configuration is very important as the assigned security roles on users directly reflects the license usage. Therefore, the security configuration is, besides helping users in their daily work by delimiting access to unused areas, also a cost issue. You can use the Security and Compliance Studio to help you delimit license usage.

You can also use the Security and Compliance Studio for security configuration and history auditing purposes.
