    Hi does this exist in in Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 2016 (8.1.1.1005)?

    I have the same issue with certain users and cannot find Virtual Entity Datasource

    Hello,

    This can sound weird but provide those user privileges to read "Virtual Entity DataSource" - it's on customization tab of role.
