Plugin Step - Run in User's Context - User Not Found

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by G Kawinski 380

Hi everyone.  Suppose you have a plugin registered to run in a specific user's context, say as a system admin.  If you deploy the plugin, and the specified user is not found, does the plugin revert to running as the current user?  In my experience, the plugin always changes to run as the user who is deploying the solution.  But lately, maybe as of 9.0 or 9.0.2, the plugin steps are reverting to running as the current user.  Am I crazy or is this behavior specific to CRM Online or managed solutions?  What's worse, is that subsequent deployments keep resetting this, so we'll need to update every plugin step which uses impersonation after every deployment.  Is this causing anyone else issues?  This is in CRM Online, 9.0.2. Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have an alternate idea for this. Let the user be any user or run under calling user the code where u r creating IOrganizationService i.e where u pass context.UserId or context.InitiatingUserId simply pass Guide.Empty then the service will be created under SYSTEM user. Then no need to think about system admin present or not in the system..

    Hope this helps.

    Actually what I see starting from MS Dynamics 2015 that deploying a step runs with a specific user is changed to run as current user.

    But if you want to avoid this issue, you can run the step as a specific user which named "System (Disabled)" this user has admin privilege and can do anything as admin except sending emails.
