How to align Dynamics 365 security roles with SharePoint document access?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12
Hi everyone,
 
I’m looking for guidance regarding security roles and privileges for document access in SharePoint integrated with Dynamics 365 Sales Hub.
In our scenario:
 
- Users upload documents directly from Sales Hub (Dataverse)
- Documents are stored in SharePoint (server-side integration)
- Currently, once the document is uploaded, it is accessible to all users who have access to the SharePoint location, regardless of their security role in Dynamics
 
What I’m trying to achieve:
- Align Dynamics 365 security roles (privileges) with document access in SharePoint
- Ideally ensure that users can only access documents based on their Dataverse permissions (e.g. Account ownership, BU, Teams, etc.)
 
My question:
Is there a recommended way (or best practice) to synchronize or replicate security role privileges from Dynamics 365 to SharePoint document libraries?
I understand that SharePoint has its own permission model, but I’m looking for:
 
- Proven approaches
- Architecture patterns
- Or at least direction where to start (e.g. automation, plugins, Azure, etc.)
If anyone has dealt with a similar scenario, I’d really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Thanks a lot! Lukas

    In Dynamics 365 Sales + SharePoint integration:
    • Dataverse controls record-level security
    • SharePoint controls document-level security
    But:
    • These two security models are NOT synchronized

    There is no out-of-the-box way to synchronize Dynamics 365 security roles with SharePoint document access. SharePoint uses its own permission model, so to align access, you must implement a custom solution—typically using folder-level permissions with automation, Azure AD group-based access, or plugins to replicate Dataverse security.
