Which security model does Dynamics 365 use for access management?

The role-based security model in Dynamics 365 is designed to manage access to data and application features based on the roles assigned to users within an organization. This model allows administrators to create different security roles that define what a user can see and do within the Dynamics 365 environment.

In this system, roles can specify permissions for various entities, such as whether a user can read, write, or delete records. By assigning users to one or more roles, administrators can ensure that employees have the correct access levels according to their job functions. For example, a sales representative might have access to customer records and sales opportunities, while a financial analyst might only have access to financial reports and data.

This approach simplifies the security management process and ensures compliance with organizational policies, enabling organizations to effectively govern who can access specific data and functions within Dynamics 365.

While OAuth security focuses on authentication and authorization processes for applications, two-factor authentication adds a layer of security for user logins, and network security deals with protecting the network infrastructure, these options do not encompass how access management is primarily structured within Dynamics 365. Therefore, the role-based security model is fundamental in offering a comprehensive solution for managing user permissions and access across the platform.
