Sample: Associate a security role to a team

  • Article

This sample shows how to assign a security role to a team by using the AssignRequest message. Note that this example does not take into consideration that a team or user can only be assigned a role from its business unit. The role to be assigned is the first from the collection that is returned by the RetrieveMultiple method. If that record is from a business unit that is different from the requesting team, the assignment fails.

You can download the sample from here.

Note

This sample applies to both Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) and Dataverse.

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 AssignRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to assign the specified record to a new owner (user or team) by changing the OwnerId attribute of the record.

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 CreateRequiredRecords method creates the records required by the sample.

Demonstrate

  1. The query method retrieves a role from Dataverse.
  2. The Associate message assigns the role to a team.

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.
