  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal ContactId As String,
  ByRef Rights As UInt32()
) As CSecurityPrincipal()
[C#]
public CSecurityPrincipal[] RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccess(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  ContactId,
  out uint[]  Rights
);
[C++]
public: CSecurityPrincipal* RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccess(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  ContactId,
  unsigned long*  Rights
)  __gc[];

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvReadContact privilege and access rights on the object to be retrieved. See CUserAuth.

ContactId

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

// 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";

// CRMContact proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMContact contact = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMContact ();
