Dynamics 365 Sharepoint integration. What about permissions?

Posted on by 83

I have integrated Sharepoint with Dynamics 365 and need to restrict users access to documents related to entity they don't have access to (restricted by D365 security roles). Today they have access to all documents when browsing from Sharepoint.

I have found this: https://www.connecting-software.com/dynamics-crm-sharepoint-permissions-replicator/ 

Is buying this or create my own code the only way to solve this?

    RE: Dynamics 365 Sharepoint integration. What about permissions?

    The way I see it, you have 4 options:

    A - You leave things as they are - not recommended because everyone will be able to see everything on the SharePoint side, and I can't think of a situation where that would be acceptable

    B - Manually change the permissions on SharePoint - This is better than A, but only for a really, really simple permissions scheme. Ask yourself: what if there are new folders, new users, or new groups of users? What if a user moves to a different group or his permissions change on the Dynamics side? How is someone going to know they need to update SharePoint, and how long is it going to be before they actually do it?

    C - Create your own code - This is better than A and B, but it is time-consuming. Again, you need to consider many scenarios and reflect them all in your code.

    D - Go for the Connecting Software Solution that you mention CB Dynamics 365 to SharePoint Permissions Replicator, which is, in view the best solution. Besides all the problems you tried to avoid with B and C, you already have a way of solving the unique permissions limit problem (through SharePoint Structure Creator, which is also perfect for organizing all the docs coming from D365.

    I hope this helps,

    Hi,

     

    By using SharePoint Security Sync you can easily sync Dynamics 365 security privileges with SharePoint permissions. This will ensure that only selected individuals with right security roles have access to confidential files stored in SharePoint. For more details, click here.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    You can set the permission in SharePoint individually.

    Depend how granular is the level of security.

    If you want to restrict access to this level automatically you need code or third party component like you suggested:

    If you have a small group of users that can share access , you can go to SharePoint and manually configure

    SharePoint has it's own security model. if you want to restrict to a group of people, you can create an AD group, add the people allowed to that group and give that group access to the SharePoint List

    Customize permissions for a SharePoint list or library (microsoft.com)
