      4 Create users

      Create users to AX2012 TEST for Dooap integration and Dooap consultants. NOTE: Users must be be created to LocalAXdomain.

      Dooap security policy requires separated integration accounts for testing (UAT) and production.

      1. Account: “Dooap UAT integration account”

      • For example: “LocalAXdomain\dooap-integration-test”
      • Roles in AX: Dooap Integration
      • Access must be to all legal entities
      • Language must be set to En-US
      • Password cannot expire as it would stop Dooap --> AX2012 integration

      2. Account: “Dooap Production integration account”

      • For example: “LocalAXdomain\dooap-integration-prod”
      • Same as above + Full AX2012 license needed

      3. Apply high throttling priority for both integration users.

      4. Account(s): Personal accounts for Dooap consultants

      • Needs to be created to LocalAXdomain.
      • Roles in AX2012: Dooap, System administrator may be needed temporarily (for setting / ensuring financial and AP parameters)
      • Password expiration according to organizations security policies

      4.1 Link users to Entra accounts

      Since AX2012 is not in the cloud, a separate manual linking between AX users and their Entra accounts is needed.

      All users (the integration user, end users & Dooap consultants) are required to be linked to their Entra accounts via the Dooap users function.

      • An alternative approach regarding the integration user and Dooap consultants is to create new Entra users (step 4.2).

      (4.2)

      Create users to AAD

      (optional)

      If steps 4 and 4.1 are followed correctly, there is no need to create new Entra users.

      However, if preferred, instead of linking the Dooap consultants and Dooap integration user in step 4.1, you can create new users in Entra ID for the Dooap consultants and Dooap integration user.

      Once the accounts are created, please securely send the user account credentials to the Dooap team.
