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 GrantAccessRequest, ModifyAccessRequest, RevokeAccessRequest messages are intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to grant, modigy and revoke access.

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. Creates a unique identifier for preventing name conflicts.
  3. Retrieves the user created manually in Office 365 for this sample.
  4. Retrieves the root business unit for creating the team for the sample.
  5. The WhoAMIRequest gets the current user information.
  6. Creates the team and adds the users to the team.
  7. Creates an account record and also creates a task, letter to associate to the account.

Demonstrate

  1. Retrieves and displays the access that the calling user has to the created account.
  2. Retrieves and displays the access that the first user has to the created account.
  3. The GrantAccessRequest method grants the first user read access to the created account.
  4. The ModifyAccessRequest method grants the first user delete access to the created account.
  5. The RevokeAccessRequest method grants the first user revoke access to the created account.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the sample data that is created 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.
