Get user permissions for an Entity Via javascript

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU02122005-1 4

I have an HTML page that appears on my contact form.

It is a custom entity that not everyone with the ability to open contact have permission to.

What I need to do is on page load check that the current user has at least read permissions to the custom entity and if they do load the HTML.

If they don't then leave the HTML off the page.

I know there is a function in Power Apps for this, but I am still using legacy forms and will be for a while. Too much customization to change.

I cannot believe I am the first to need this functionality.

Thanks Brian

    Hello,

    In this case, I would recommend using WebApi to query that data and check the level of privileges.

    This does not work in my environment. I am using legacy forms not the Power Apps forms.

    userSettings.getSecurityRolePrivilegesInfo().then(successCallback, errorCallback);

    Tells me getSecurityRolePrivlegesinfo is not a function.

    Please, review the document. This is exactly what you need:

    The other thing that you will have to dig to the particular privilege but that's what you need. Good luck.

    That gives me the Role for the current user, but I need to know whether or not a user has minimum read access for a specific entity.
