Dynamics 365 Team Member Licensing

Posted on by Raghu_b 228

Hi All,

just to get more clarification regarding the new licensing terms.

  1. Can a user who's has been assigned the Team Member License will be able to Create Read and write the Custom entity records?
  2. We are hardly using CRM upto the full potential of it and we only use it for Sales and the OOB Leads, Opportunities, Quotes, Orders, Invoices, Products and Price Lists doesn't cater our needs whatsoever or doesn't support our business scenario, can I develop custom functionality that suits our Business process / Scenario and give access to Users having Team Members License.

I was confused with the Licensing terms, especially with the below statement from the Licensing Guide-

*** Custom entities (either based on entities included in Microsoft Dynamics 365 or created by a customer or partner) may require a higher CAL or User SL, depending on the required access. Customizations can only be performed against entities included in the use rights.

-Thank you for the help.

    @Thomas:

    1. When you say, 'be careful which entities you link your custom entities to', you mean that if I have a relation with the custom entity and OOB entities that isn't part of the team member's license like opportunity, case etc, then that custom entity becomes inaccessible?

    2. Is there any limitation to the number of custom entities that Team Member license users can access?

    Thanks,

    Jeeva

    Hi

    As I understand the licensing the answer to question 1 is Yes but be careful which entities you link your custom entities to. Answer to question 2 is perhaps. The last depends on whether you are replicating functionality that is already present in the system as standard. This means that you cannot create you own custom Opportunity or Case entities without licensing the user with one of the "App licenses" like the Sales app which grants the user right to work with opportunities.
