How to deny Work Date change?

Hi.

Security question.

We need to block attempts of changing working date for some users.
Is it possible to allow/deny changing Work Date (Tools | Work Date) via standard permissions functionality?

Any suggestions?

    No. That's not possible.
    You could use the fields "Allow Posting From" and "Allow Posting To" in the User Setup table to control the dates users can use.

    That's not useful for purposes we'd like to limit date change.

    D-oh! Coding, coding, coding...

    its not possible with permissions. But when changing the workdate, the CU1, i belive Function MakeDate (or so), will called. So here you can store your code.
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    And it's also called from everywhere from the date fields, when you chane date, for example...

    Also, I'm trying to keep CU1 unchanged.

    So, I should make mods in a range of interesed objects...

    thanks all!

    How do you mean Limit?

    Posting date = work date?
    posting date = today?

    or a range of a day either way or a range for a month?

    I didn't try that but you could create a single instance codeunit which is called from CU1 and do every 10 Seconds 
    IF WORKDATE <> TODAY THEN
  WORKDATE := TODAY;
    You could make it more comfortable and check if the user is allowed to change the workdate.
    Therefore add a field to table User Setup (e. g. "Allow change Workdate")
    Then the code in your single instance codeunit looks like this: 
    IF UserSetup.Code <> USERID THEN  // This line is for performance
  IF NOT UserSetup.GET(USERID) THEN
    UserSetup.INIT;
IF (NOT UserSetup."Allow change Workdate") AND
   (WORKDATE <> TODAY)
THEN
  WORKDATE := TODAY;

    Actually, posting date <> workdate...

    Hm... Looks useful.

    Will also try to allow every System except 0 in Permissions.

    Just modify CU1, that is the best way.

    when you not will touch the CU 1, you must create your own CU. But to work with this CU, it must called from CU1.

    Or, your Codeunit is Singlieinstance and loaded in Function LoginStart and with Timer it go throw every x seconds. but this way #-o

    So easiest and best way: modify cu1. You can make here your own function which is called from the function i sayed. In your function you handle the user permissions.
    Do you make it right, it works too!
