Dynamics 365 for Operations - Disable User Session Date (System date)

While there are cases where you want users to be able to change their session date which controls the default Posting date on transactions, there are times such as immediately after Go Live, where you might not want new users to have that level of control. 



To disable users updating the session date for all users or a group of users, update System date security settings in the Client essentials security privilege.



Users will be able to see the Calendar object but not update their session date.

  1. Hi - I would like to leverage this security - I have changed the system date settings in Client Essentials and in Client Essentials for Retail Trial (Just in case) and the date can still be set - Is there anymore privileges that use this setting?

    1. I just tested this in a test environment and I can't get it to work now either. It's possible MSFT has changed the behavior on this control since I published this blog post. What version/update are you on?
