Bifrost Field Access

Field Access lets an administrator decide, per user or Microsoft Entra application, which tables and fields Bifröst may read and change for them. It applies only to what Bifröst reads and writes; the Business Central client is not affected. This help covers three pages: Bifrost Field Access Overview, Bifrost Field Accesses (the lines of one user) and Bifrost Field Sensitivities. For the whole picture, with examples, see Control what agents read and change.

Bifrost Field Access Overview​

Field Access on Bifrost Setup opens this page: every Field Access line of every user and application in the company, read-only. All columns can be sorted and filtered.

FieldDescription
User Name / Full NameThe user or application the line applies to. For an application, Full Name is its description.
Source TypeUser or AAD Application.
Table No. / Table NameThe table. 0 means all tables.
Field No. / Field NameThe field. 0 means all fields of the table.
Restriction TypeSee Restriction types.
ActionDescription
EditOpens the lines of the user on the selected line, to change them. The overview is refreshed when you close it.
New for User...Choose a user or application and open its lines, to add new ones.

Bifrost Field Accesses​

The lines of one user or application. The User Name at the top shows whose lines they are.

FieldDescription
Table No. / Table NameThe table. 0 means all tables.
Field No. / Field NameThe field. 0 means all fields of the table.
Restriction TypeSee Restriction types.
ActionDescription
Apply Recommended Template...Choose one or more users or applications. Bifröst adds Read lines for the phone numbers, e-mail addresses, registration numbers and bank account fields of customers, vendors, contacts, sales documents and bank accounts. A line that already exists is never changed, and a user who has a line for a whole table or for all tables is left alone for that scope. Safe to run again.
Delete All for UserDeletes every line of the user, after a confirmation.
Delete All for TableDeletes every line for the table of the selected line, after a confirmation.

  • The most specific line decides. A line for the field wins over a line for the table, which wins over a line for all tables. Only that one line is used, so a None line on a table opens it again under a Write line for all tables.
  • None also opens, for that user, the fields Bifröst hides or closes by default (bank details, employee personal data, and fields hidden by Respect Data Sensitivity). Bypass opens the fields closed by default for changes. Neither opens what Bifröst always protects.
  • A user with any Read or Both line gets no FlowField values through Bifröst, because Bifröst cannot see which fields a FlowField reads.
  • Lines take effect immediately for the next request.

Bifrost Field Sensitivities​

Field Sensitivities on Bifrost Setup opens the company's own classification of fields. Each line marks a field Sensitive or Personal. When Respect Data Sensitivity on Bifrost Setup is Sensitive, the Sensitive fields are hidden from every user; with Sensitive + Personal, the Personal fields are hidden too. With Off (the default) nothing is hidden. A None line on Bifrost Field Accesses opens a hidden field for one user.

FieldDescription
Table No. / Table NameThe table of the field.
Field No. / Field NameThe field.
SensitivitySensitive or Personal.
ActionDescription
Apply Recommended ClassificationAdds the recommended Sensitive employee fields, and the phone, mobile phone, e-mail and registration number of customers, vendors and contacts as Personal. A field that already has a line keeps it.

The list is changed on this page only, never through Bifröst itself.
