One of the pieces of new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1 is Master Data Management which allows you to sync setup and/or master data between companies in the same environment.
We’ve made some use of his functionality on a recent project, but encountered a problem when trying to enable it for the tables and fields we had selected:
You do not have permissions to create or run scheduled tasks
We looked into the issue and identified it as being that I had a partner licence for the clients system and creation and running of job queues is not permitted for this type of licence. The “workaround” is to either have an account on the client system created for the duration of the project and assign it a full Business Central Essentials licence or to have someone from the client do anything which requires a job queue.
Neither of these options is especially useful, but it is a result of a restriction put in place by Microsoft. I’m not sure why the restriction is in place, but it is a very inconvenient one.
What should we write about next?
