Hi everyone,

I've set up three business units in Dynamics CRM:

  • Org4343443 (Parent)
  • Engineers (Child of Org4343443)
  • Communication (Child of Org4343443)

I’ve created respective teams for each business unit and assigned the following custom roles to each team:

CS Eng (Engineers):

  • Customer Voice - Add on
  • Event Planner
  • Lead Score Viewer
  • Marketing Professional
  • Marketing Professional - Business
  • Marketing Services User
  • Marketing, Business App Access
  • Project Owner
  • Sales Enterprise app access
  • Sales Manager

CS Org (Org4343443):

  • Same roles as above

CS Comm (Communication):

  • Same roles as above

I’ve set up the roles for both contacts and accounts to "Parent: Child Business unit." My goal is to have users be able to view accounts and contacts in their own business unit and in the parent unit if applicable.

However, I encountered an issue where the Communication team couldn’t see the contacts from the parent business unit (Org4343443).

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have insights into what might be wrong with the role permissions or hierarchy setup?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Actually the Parent: Child Business unit means: Users can access records in their business unit and all business units subordinate to it. It does not includes the parent business unit.
    In you requirement, I think you would need to consider Orginazation level privilege or Access Team or a certain Team owner.
