Microsoft Dynamics GP should warn if automatic security settings

[vswatek]

If there is field level security settings; GP automatically removes security
to the Customization Status window. There should be a message that this
automatic action has happened or ask if the user wants that security to be
automatically applied.

Article.

It was required to make Field Level Security secure, otherwise the
Customisation Status when could be used to bypass security changes. This is
checked every login to ensure that security is not weakened by changing it.
I am not sure that you want to "scare" users with a dialog message they may
not understand.
