We’ve been implementing Dynamics Ax 2009 at work now, for some time. One of the tasks that came to my desk, was to manage security and access rights in the application.
Ax is a fully dynamic application. It’s customized by a Ms partner for each customer, to meet it’s needs (the choice of a partner in this matter will decide if implementation are successful, and if it’s on time. If you land on acquiring this software, spend some time evaluating the different providers available in your area.)
The Rename Utility that this issue refers to, are controlled by several access keys and rights. Basically, you need write/modify rights for the table in question (not always easy to figure out, but right clicking a element and going setup *might* provide some insights). When you’ve got that, you need to have modify rights to the Security keys below:
Administration->Miscellaneous = Modify. If you don’t have this or more rights, the Rename button won’t show at all.
