NAV 2013 & NAV 2013 R2 - You do not have access to Microsoft Dynamics NAV - Create User From SQL.

Hi all,

This post is based on suggestion from +Ami Paneri Upadhyay

* The Screen Shots and Query Applies - TO NAV 2013 R2. Steps Remain Same for NAV 2013 but query will get change.

* The Query for NAV 2013 can be found in my Skydrive, Link at the end of the post.

Let's see what was required and how we can achieve it.

CASE -

I received a database from customer and my windows login is not there in the database. I don't want to delete Customer Users from the database but want to add myself in the Users. How can we do this?

OR

We have a database internally for development. All the consultants having User ID's in the database are not available. I want to access the database, How can i achieve it?

If you are using NAV 2013 R2 or Higher Please refer this article.



What is the Error message?

Where i try to open the database i get below error from Role Tailored Client -

You do not have access to Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Verify that you have been set up as a valid user in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

What we Want?

A) Add My Windows Login Details in User Table & User Property Table.
B) Add Role to My User in Access Control Table.

What are the Fields that are required to be filled in?

A) USER TABLE -

Below are the fields in USER TABLE.

The Problem that i see in this field list is of Field "Windows Security ID".

B) USER Property TABLE-

Below are the fields from USER Property Table.

All fields Look Good in this Table.

C)  Access Control Table -

Below are the fields from Access Control Table.

All fields Look Good in this Table.

So let's see How can i get "Windows Security ID" for my ID so that i can add same in User Table.

STEP 1 - HOW TO GET Windows Security ID or SSID

You can find so many ways to find it, but i find the Powershell as easy tool to find it.

1. Open Powershell.

2. Copy Below command in Command Window.

# Replace YourDomain\Your ID with your Domain Name & User Name

$objUser = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("YourDomain\Your ID")
$strSID = $objUser.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$strSID.Value
------------------------------------------------------------

Replace YourDomain\Your ID with Your Domain and USER ID.

Run the Command and in the Output Window you can see your SSID, as shown below.

Copy and Save the SSID, we will require it further.

STEP 2 - ENTER USER Details in NAVISION Database with Roles.

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio.

2. In My Case the database that i want to get access is Demo Database NAV (7-1).

3. Click on New Query and paste below listed command in the query window.
