Self assigned System Administrator role

Posted on by 170

Hi all.

I'm using CRM 2015 on prem with the role of Customer Service Representative. I'm able to add myself the role of System Administrator. Is that normal ? What would be the rationale to have that ability ? Which security roles can add System Administrator role ?

Thanks

    Anyone know where the issue is ? I installed a fresh CRM 2015 and compare CSR roles, they looks identical.

    Hi Alex,

    No, it doesn't have promote user to Admin role. However, it has create new user and manage role buttons.

    The CRM version is 7.0.2.101

    Thanks

    Hi,

     I kind of doubt it would be the case in CRM 2015(think it was not there, but I can't verify it right now) - see if you have this privilege, and if it was given to that "Customer Service Representative" role:

    Promote User to Microsoft Dynamics Administrator Role

     It would be under Core Records -> Miscellaneous Privileges

    Hi Gopalan,

    It doesn't seem to be the cases. Customer Service Representative role has only Read privilege at Business Unit level for Security Role entity.

    Hi

    A user with a Security Role which has Security Role entity (Business Management section in Security Role) Read and Assign privilege should be able to assign.
