Custom Action runs in User Context or System Context?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi All,

I have one custom action which internally updates Order Entity. Now, the problem is when user clicks on button and custom action is triggered, user gets error message saying AccessRight is missing. Now, the order entity belongs to different user and different BU. So my user needs Global read on Order so that he can successfully trigger custom action.

But giving global right is not possible as client doesn't want to do that. 

What is the solution? Custom action runs in user context even if the custom action owner is admin?

    Hello,

    You can do following:

    1. Call that action impersonating as other user - msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt607702.aspx

    2. Redesign your action and develop a plugin for that action, do your operations with Order using "System" IOrganizationService instance.

    3. Change your action to on-demand real-time workflow and call it on click of button. Configure workflow to run under user with elevated permissions.

    Hi,

    I am assuming  you are calling custom action using JavaScript Web API request ,  set the MSCRMCallerID  with impersonated user id like below.

    req.setRequestHeader("MSCRMCallerID", "28888439-85AF-E511-80EB-3863BB35AD90");
