Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Assign the role in Security configuration
Correct: Assign the role in Security configuration. In Dynamics 365 Finance, roles are assigned via the Security configuration to control user permissions. Option A is incorrect because an Organization hierarchy defines reporting structures, not specific role-based access for invoice approval. Option B is incorrect because an Audit policy is used for monitoring transactions, not for controlling approval rights. Option C is incorrect because while a workflow can specify which roles can perform actions, the role must first be assigned to users via Security configuration for the workflow to enforce it.
