What’s happening?
A data service client/Entra ID app user needs to change its own default company to access data from different entities, particularly when dealing with a custom entity that does not support cross-company queries.
Reason:
The custom entity in question does not correctly support the cross-company parameter on queries, necessitating a change in the default company for the user to retrieve the required data.
Resolution:
- It is possible to update the company field of the SystemUsers entity using data services.
- The user can perform the following steps:
- Use an HTTP PATCH request to change the default company to the desired company (e.g., Company AAA).
- Execute an HTTP GET request to retrieve the data from the custom entity for the newly set default company.
- Repeat the process by sending another HTTP PATCH request to change the default company to another company (e.g., Company BBB).
- Execute another HTTP GET request to retrieve the data for the second company from the custom entity.
- Ensure that the requests are made in series to avoid conflicts.
