Control visibility of entities between different users?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 105

We're just starting to use D365 for Sales and would like to control visibility of entities (accounts, activities, leads, contacts, and opportunities) somehow between different groups of people. I don't have a good grasp of Roles and Teams and whether they can be used to accomplish this.


For example, I have 2 different "Teams"  - an Executive Team, and a Sales Team. I would like the Executive to be able to see everything that the Sales team owns, but I don't want to allow the Sales team to see anything that the Executive team owns, at least by default. That would be my most general case. 

What's the best practice for handling this situation? I guess I would be fine also if there was a way for a user, on an ad-hoc basis, to manually protect and or make entities visible to others. 

Thanks,

Bob

    Hi Bob,

    I will suggest going through a deep understanding of the Dynamics 365 security structure.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../create-edit-business-units

    You can create separate security roles for both teams and restrict access through it.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    You can translate your structure into Dynamics 365 Security Model via Business Unit, Teams, Security Roles.

    I would suggest you to attend the following Microsoft Learn module, to have a better understanding about the capabilities of Dynamics 365 Security Model: docs.microsoft.com/.../

    Hope this helps you.
