CRMActivity.ModifyAccess Method
The ModifyAccess method replaces the access rights on the activity for the specified security principal. 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 to a particular object type prevents the child objects from being shared.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ModifyAccess(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ActivityId As String,
ByVal Rights As UInt32,
ByVal Grantee As CSecurityPrincipal
)
[C#]
public void ModifyAccess(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ActivityId,
uint Rights,
CSecurityPrincipal Grantee
);
[C++]
public: void ModifyAccess(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ActivityId,
unsigned long Rights,
CSecurityPrincipal* Grantee
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must be the object owner and have the prvShareActivity. See CUserAuth.
ActivityId
Specifies the ID of the activity.
Rights
Specifies the set of rights to be granted. See ACCESSRIGHTS.
Grantee
Specifies the team or user that will be granted access. 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}

// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server

// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

securityPrincipal.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.SecurityPrincipalType.sptUser;
// Set up the rights
uint rights = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.AccessRights.CRM_ACCESS_WRITE;
// Modify access for the security principal
activity.ModifyAccess(userAuth, strActivityId, rights, securityPrincipal);
