I need to update the UserInfo table

Posted on by Jouluna

We're attempting to create a Job in a workspace in order to update the enable field status of all rows in the UserInfo table, since everytime we backup the production environment to UAT all users are set to disabled. In essence we are trying to run:

while select forupdate UserInfo
where UserInfo.id != curUserId()
{
UserInfo.enable = NoYes::Yes;
UserInfo.update();
}

However it seems that like most default tables in D365, there is no way to grant privileges to do a query like that. Is there a woraround for the isssue?

We're also getting this error:

Cannot edit a record in User Information (UserInfo). The corresponding AOS validation failed.

RE: I need to update the UserInfo table

The only enabled user will be the administrator and privileges don't apply to him, right? So there is no reason to assign any.

By the way, there is a more efficient way to do the same thing:

update_recordset userInfo setting Enable = NoYes::Yes;

Nevertheless the usual approach is doing it in SQL, not in X .

RE: I need to update the UserInfo table

Thanks.

Right, the query won´t work even with the admin user.

I thought of creating a SP in sql, however it will only work in the UAT environment.

Is there a way to access the production DB?

It seems there is no option to access the DB from lcs, and it might cause some issues. I tried in the past to add a column to a default table in UAT and once we transferred the changes to production, the solution stopped working.

RE: I need to update the UserInfo table

You can't connect to the production DB and it wouldn't help you anyway, because the users are active in Prod. They're disabled during the export, to allow admin review users, run data clean-up scripts and so on.
