Case Study: Diversified Manufacturing Company reduces Dynamics 365 license costs and tightens security with Delinea

Fastpath Security Designer for a Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) Implementation

Diversified Manufacturing Company, with operations in the U.S. and Asia that produce retail fixtures, perishable shelving, electrical switches and provide 3PL services, was implementing Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and needed to tighten user permissions to lower license costs and ensure least-privilege access. They avoided Microsoft’s out-of-the-box roles, sought quick, accurate security reporting, and wanted a way to validate role changes before applying them.

Fastpath, now part of Delinea, delivered Security Designer and detailed reporting that convert D365 F&O task recordings into the exact security needed, allowing review and modification of roles, duties, and privileges before changes are made. Implemented in days, the solution halved the time to analyze security, narrowed user access, enabled field-level controls without complex workarounds, and reduced operational license costs—saving both time and money.
