Permission Sets

Permission Set Audience Grants
Dynapro Manufacturing Production planners and power users Full access to all Dynapro Manufacturing tables, pages, codeunits, and reports.
Dynapro Manufacturing Setup Administrators who only maintain setup and materials Access to the setup table and Material list, without the broader manufacturing permissions.

The app also extends several standard Microsoft role permission sets (Administrator, Accountants, Assembly Edit, D365 Full Access, D365 Premium, Premium Manufacturing Edit, RapidStart, Team Member, and others), so users with those roles automatically gain the matching Dynapro Manufacturing access.
