Missing "Environment Variable Value" entity from Security Role UI

Hi All,

I have a Security Role (SecRoleX) which is used for user management but recently a few errors started appearing when User A (with SecRoleX) tried to configure access for a new system user. I've been able to fix up most of the missing privileges for SecRoleX, but there is one relating to "prvReadEnvironmentVariableValue".

Based on another post I found, there should be a "Environment Variable Value" entity under the Custom Entities tab in the Security Role UI, but I don't see one. I've look in two completely diffierent D365 environments and cannot see "Environment Variable Value" entity in the Security Role UI.

Example from the above mentioned post
How it looks for me

The entity itself exists in the default solution but I can't work out why I cant see it in the Security Role UI.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm seeing what you're seeing. If it continues to be an issue, create an unmanaged solution with your security role in it, export, unzip, pop open your customizations file, search for this row under the security role you're concerned with:

<RolePrivilege name="prvReadEnvironmentVariableDefinition" level="Global" />

and add this line below it:

<RolePrivilege name="prvReadEnvironmentVariableValue" level="Global" />

Then rezip and import into your original/dev environment.

Hi,

The privilege assigned to the entity Environment Variable Definition gets inherited by the entity Environment Variable Value as well. So you only see the entity Environment Variable Definition while assigning the privilege from the security role as below:

The 2 entities (i.e. “Environment Variable Definitions” and “Environment Variable Values”) are related to each other. The “Environment Variable Definitions” has a 1:N or rather a 1:1 relation with the “Environment Variable Values”. The reason we are saying this is because you cannot have more than one value for one definition.

If this helped you, I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified Answer, which may in turn help others as well.

Best Regards,

Frank Gong

Excellent! that did the trick. I've gotten past this particular missing privilege and on to the next ones haha. thanks CaptJoe!

What you said doesn't seem to be correct (in my scenario at least), otherwise I wouldn't have received the error in the first place. Could you have a look in the screen shots I posted? Would not having the Create or Delete privileges' for Environment Variable Definition cause and issue with Reading the Environment Variable Value?
