Hi everyone

My employer has 26 Business Units within Dynamics, and records are shared between these Unit. My personal record is shared with around of these Business Units.

However, when I view my record (in SQL or Power BI) by looking at the Contact Entity, I can only find details of the Owning Business Unit. Where would I need to look for details of the other Business Units that my record is shared with?

I've looked at this article - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dynamics-365-view-shared-records-hussein-fawzy/ - but cannot find the POA table when using SQL or Power BI.

Many thanks
Jon

Hello,

I am able to query POA table using SQL4CDS plugin in XRMToolbox.

www.xrmtoolbox.com/.../

Select * FROM principalobjectaccess where objectid="cfa89936-0154-ec11-8f8e-6045bd733548"

objectid -> Your Contact Record ID

You will get UserId/TeamId in response, now to get the BU you will need to do join with systemuser/team table.

/*For User*/

Select * FROM principalobjectaccess p
inner join systemuser s on p.principalid=s.systemuserid
where p.objectid="cfa89936-0154-ec11-8f8e-6045bd733548" and p.principaltypecode="systemuser"
/*For Team*/

Select * FROM principalobjectaccess p
inner join team t on p.principalid=t.teamid
where p.objectid="cfa89936-0154-ec11-8f8e-6045bd733548" and p.principaltypecode="team"

Hi,

Check if you are providing correct password?

Also, try with different User account. Have you enabled MFA on your user account?
