Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customisation in Ely
Configuring Dynamics 365 for how Ely organisations work, where the security model deserves attention before anything else. Access is scoped around business units, record ownership is tied to them, and restructuring the hierarchy after data exists is disruptive — so the shape you choose early is one you will be living with.
Why this comes up
The problem
Business units were drawn to match last year's org chart, the company reorganised, and access no longer matches who does what.
What you get
What we deliver
- Business unit structure designed for how access should work, not the org chart
- Security roles built by function, with teams used rather than per-user grants
- Model-driven apps scoped so each group sees only the tables it needs
- Forms and views arranged for the daily task rather than showing every field
- Business rules used for simple logic that would otherwise become code
- Configuration packaged in solutions from the start, not deployed loose

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customisation in Ely — common questions
- Why does the business unit structure matter so much?
- Because ownership and visibility hang off it. Records belong to a user in a unit, and much of the access model resolves through that hierarchy — so a structure mirroring a reporting line that changes annually creates access problems every time the business reorganises.
- Roles per person or teams?
- Teams, with roles assigned to them. Granting roles individually produces hundreds of combinations nobody can audit, whereas team membership is visible, transferable when someone changes job, and far easier to reason about when access needs to be proven.
- When are business rules enough?
- For field-level logic — showing, hiding, requiring, simple calculations. They run without code and are visible to administrators, which makes them preferable wherever they suffice. The judgement is not to stretch them into something that clearly wants a real process.
- Should everything go into a solution?
- Yes, from the beginning. Configuration made directly in an environment is difficult to move and hard to distinguish from what came before it, and retrofitting a solution structure once production has accumulated loose changes is significantly more work.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Ely and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Ely businesses do you usually work with?
- Grower and packhouse systems handling seasonal labour, traceability and supermarket compliance requirements. Beyond that we work across Agriculture, Food Production, Tourism & Heritage, Retail and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Ely?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Cambridge, Peterborough, Norwich. Ely is an urban area of roughly 20,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
