In the NAV2018/BC we are using AL for development and build extensions for our customizations using table/page extensions and events. But in NAV 2018 and also in BC on premise versions there are certain cases where we don’t find the event to subscribe, in that case how should we handle the modification ? and avoid any conflicts in the next upgrade.

You have not been granted permission to perform the current activity
Today, when I try to launch the debugger, I got the below error
I have checked my permissions in the Navision, and I have SUPER, and there is no company specified for the permission set. So I have compared my permissions with other users, and I haven’t noticed anything different on the NAV side.
Then I opened the SQL Server and checked the Access Control table; then I spotted one difference with my permission set SUPER and with another user who has the same permission set. The [App ID] column has value for my permission set, but it is...
