Sample: Add a security principal (user or team) to a queue (early bound)

  • Article

This sample showcases how to give a user or a team access to a queue. The AddPrincipalToQueueRequest adds the specified principal to the list of queue members. If the passed-in security principal is a team each member of the team is added to the queue. You can download the sample from here.

How to run this sample

To obtain a local copy of all samples and build them, follow these steps:

  1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
  2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the instance/organization you want to connect to.
  3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you don't specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog opens each time you run the sample, and you'll need to enter information about which instance or org you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog caches previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

What this sample does

The AddPrincipalToQueueRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to add the specified principal to the list of queue members. If the principal is a team, add each team member to the queue.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

Setup

  1. Checks for the current version of the org.
  2. The Queue method creates a queue instance and set its property values. The returned GUIDs are stored in a variable.
  3. The QueryExpression retrieves the default business unit for the creation of the team and role.
  4. Creates a new example team and role required for the sample.
  5. Retrieves the prvReadQueue and prvAppendToQueue privileges.
  6. The AddPrivilegeRoleRequest method adds the prvReadQueue abd prvAppendToQueue privileges to the example role.

Demonstrate

The AddPrincipalToQueueRequest method adds the team to the queue.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the sample data in Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the entities and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
