Job to export all AX 2009 security groups to files

Alex wrote a nice and quick job that can export the existing security settings in Dynamics AX 2009 to a folder This is very helpful when we make frequent changes to security and need to have a quick backup of the existing settings.

I have been changing security a bunch lately and it's nice to have a backup of your previous settings if you make a mistake. Here is a quick job I wrote to export your existing security settings to a folder.


 static void ExportSecurityGroups(Args _args)
{
  SysSecurityUserGroup sysSecurity = SysSecurityUserGroup::construct();
  UserGroupInfo userGroupInfo;
  #file Dialog dialog = new Dialog("@SYS14863");
  DialogField dialogFileName;
  Object formdialog;
  ;
  dialogFileName = dialog.addField(typeid(FilePath),"@SYS16423");
  dialog.doInit();
  formdialog = dialog.formRun();
  formdialog.filenameLookupTitle("@SYS53669");    
 
  if (dialog.run() && WinAPI::pathExists(dialogFileName.value()))
  {
     while select userGroupInfo
    {
        sysSecurity.parmUserGroupId(userGroupInfo.id);
        sysSecurity.load();
        sysSecurity.export(dialogFileName.value() + @'\' + userGroupInfo.id + '.asg');
    }
  }    
  else
    warning("No action taken...");
info("Done"); }
