Ribbon Workbench Woes

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 173

I have a smart button "Run Webhook".  It works great and it runs on the Home Main Tab (the first option).  If I select one or many records on the grid it loops through them and works on all records.  I used a webhook as it is calling a power automate flow.

My issue is, I want to limit the access to this button to a security role, or on the view name.  Either would work.

I have been going through everything I can find, I cannot seem to get anything to work.

I think it is because it has to run on the Home Main Tab(the first option).

Or maybe because it is a smart button.

Does anyone have a sample or a link that works.

I am using Dynamics 365 online.

    this code works for me

    CheckUserSecurityRoleAccess: function () {

           var retVal = false;

           var globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();

           //get the rolesArray

           var userRoles = globalContext.userSettings.roles;

           //initialize return value

           var hasRole = false;

           //foeach item in array

           userRoles.forEach(function hasRoleName(item, index) {

               //Check passed in value for role[].name match

               if (item.name === "security role") {

                   //match found set return value to true

                   retVal = true;

               };

           });

           return retVal;

       },

    hope it helps

    Hi,
