How to set change log entries user in Dynamics Nav 2016

I've written some code to query the ODATA endpoint in Dynamics Nav 2016. I did this by creating an ODATA connected service. I wrote the following code to add a record:

var navision = new Navision(
    new Uri("http://navision:7048/navision/OData/Company('Company1')"))
{
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("MyUser@example.com", "password")
};
navision.AddToFoo(new Foo() { Name = "Bar" });
navision.SaveChangesAsync();

I have enabled 'Change Log Entries' for the Foo table. However, when the above code executes, the user displayed in the change log entries is MyUser@example.com. Is it possible to set this user myself explicitly?

RE: How to set change log entries user in Dynamics Nav 2016

Hi Muhammad,

No, not without changing the way the Change Log functionality works in NAV. The user account being used to write the record will be the one recorded in the system.

You can either change your code so that you use a different set of credentials to insert different records (so that your desired user is recorded in the Change Log Entries). Or, create a new field in the Foo table to record a User ID, and this would be explicitly set by you using your code.

I hope this helps. If my response has answered your question, please verify by clicking Yes next to "Did this answer your question?"
