The Newest Self Service User Type For Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2

The latest release of Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2, arrived in June, and with it came a shipload of new features. We’ve mentioned the new Self Service User Type before, but today we’re going to take a closer look at it. A popular request from customers, this new user type was created for users who require very limited access to the Microsoft Dynamics GP system. It is a less expensive option which enables users to perform tasks such as entering payroll time, entering project time and expenses, and/or creating purchase requisitions.

The Self Service User Type has been added to the User Setup window (Administration > Setup > User), as shown below.
