Implementing Field Level Security in CRM 4.0 - Options and Constraints

The CRM E² team has released an excellent new white paper Field-level Security in Microsoft Dynamics CRM: Options and Constraints,  available for download from the Microsoft Download Center at:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=471f8670-47b3-4525-b25d-c11a6774615c

“This document provides selected aspects of the conceptual application of the Dynamics CRM security model, with details about the various options and constraints that are associated with using supported custom logic to control of access to data at a more granular level than is provided by Microsoft Dynamics CRM out-of-the-box.”

I found it helpful in thinking about how to frame discussions around customer requests for field level security, and a good explanation of potential gaps / holes left behind by different approaches.

It’s an excellent resource and introduction / background on the challenges of layering in additional security on top of CRM’s existing security model.
