CRMActivity.GrantAccess Method
The GrantAccess method grants a user or team access to the specified activity. This method also applies to all child objects of the activity. For all child objects, if the caller does not have share privileges for those object types or share rights to the objects, the child objects are not shared. As a result, the owner of the object or a user who shares the object with share rights automatically has share rights to all child objects of the activity. In this case, only the lack of privileges for a particular object type prevents the child objects from being shared.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub GrantAccess(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ActivityId As String,
ByVal Rights As UInt32,
ByVal Grantee As CSecurityPrincipal
)
[C#]
public void GrantAccess(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ActivityId,
uint Rights,
CSecurityPrincipal Grantee
);
[C++]
public: void GrantAccess(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ActivityId,
unsigned long Rights,
CSecurityPrincipal* Grantee
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvShareActivity privilege and access rights on the object to be modified. See CUserAuth.
ActivityId
Specifies the ID of the activity.
Rights
Specifies the set of rights to be granted. See ACCESSRIGHTS.
Grantee
Specifies the security principal (user or team) with which the activity is to be shared. See CSecurityPrincipal.
Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
Example
[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";
// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";
// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMActivity proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMActivity activity = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMActivity ();
activity.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
activity.Url = strDir + "CRMActivity.srf";
string strErrorMsg;

string strUserId = "{ECF99EF1-3858-4E06-ABD9-EBFE526BF9FF}";
try
{

// Initialize the security principal
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal securityPrincipal = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal();
securityPrincipal.Id = strUserId;
securityPrincipal.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.SecurityPrincipalType.sptUser;
// Set up the rights
uint rights = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.AccessRights.CRM_ACCESS_READ;
activity.GrantAccess(userAuth, strActivityId, rights, securityPrincipal);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
// Process the platform error here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
