Sample: Audit user access
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:
SampleCode\CS\DataManagement\Auditing\UserAccessAuditing.cs
Requirements
For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code. This sample requires the logged on user to have the System Administrator role for enabling auditing on an organization.
Demonstrates
This sample demonstrates how to audit user access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Example
The sample first enables user access auditing with the logged on user’s organization. Next, it creates and modifies an account entity so that audit records are generated. Finally, the sample displays the audited information.
