(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Song 91

Hi everyone,

I need to create a workflow to automate the operations for adding and removing privileges on certain roles. usually, user A hasn't write access to customer entity "entityM", when user A demand an edit right for entityM, the workflow will be trigged to add write privilege  to entityM of his security role, is it possible to do it? I have try the message AddPrivilegesRoleRequest but it needs the privilegeId, the privilege doesnt exist before adding to the role, anyone can help me? thanks

    Hi Song,

    10 seconds maybe not normal, but probably this duration includes "OrganizationService init" and also as you said it depends on network.

    Second point, if you use my method and send privilege name as parameter, my method check all privileges before process your query, so there are 2 steps inside it,

    - check privilege

    - add privilege to security role

    also, MSCRM runs different queries when you add privilege to role.

    Hi Emre,

    I have just retried it and it works well, is it normal it taks several seconds (8 or 10) to complete this? Maybe it is network problem.

    Thanks so much and have a nice day

    Hi Song,

    "prvWrite" is default privilege, so it's not normal. Can you copy all exception details here.

    By the way, this privilege name ("prvWritenew_mycustomentity") is just example, you must change redline (new_mycustomentity) with your entity name.

    Please look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh547441.aspx for all system pre-defined privlege names

    Hi Emre,

    Thanks for your reply, I have tried this but there is a error message ''privilegeName' privilege not found.

    is it normal? I used well the privilege name "prvWritenew_mycustomentity", in fact, this privilege doesnt exist in the privilegebase before

    Hi,

    Please check code blocks on https://github.com/emregulcan/xrmlibrary.2016/blob/master/XrmLibrary.EntityHelpers/Security/RoleHelper.cs#L151-L251 

    You can use my helper library that called XrmLibrary (2015 or 2016) or directly copy related code block from Github.

    You need to add privilege to role and assign a role to user.

    You can use simple code below;

    RoleHelper roleHelper = new RoleHelper(organizationService);
roleHelper.AddPrivilege(Guid.Parse("SECURITY_ROLE_GUID"), "PRIVILEGE_NAME", PrivilegeDepth.Global);


    You can find system predefined privileges names on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh547441.aspx , if you need to add privilege for custom entity, you can use this format "prvCreatenew_mycustomentity"
