Sample: Associate a Security Role to a User
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\BusinessDataModel\UsersAndRoles\AddRoleToUser.cs
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 associate a role with a user by using the IOrganizationService.Associate method. A snippet showing just the key portions of the sample is shown first, followed by the Complete Sample Code. Note that this sample can only be run in an on-premises environment because it creates a user. However, the section of the sample that demonstrates associating a role with a user will work for all environments.
