Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises). Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:
SampleCode\CS\GeneralProgramming\EarlyBound\Assign.cs
This sample code requires that you have administrator rights to create a new user. For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.
This sample shows how to assign an account to another user by using the AssignRequest message.
