Hi,

We are developing an external portal as we did not succeed with the custom portal provided with CRM. We would like to show the contact creating the record on the portal as the owner of the record. I read that is not supported as that is not a paying user. The portal was able to create records with SYSTEM. How can we do the same to indicate the records have been created externally?

//try to change owner;
var request = new AssignRequest
{
Assignee = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, Guid.Parse("?")),
Target = new EntityReference(MyClaim.EntityLogicalName, NewClaim.Id)
};
// Execute the Request
_serviceContext.Execute(request);

Try this

// Create the Request Object and Set the Request Object's Properties AssignRequest assign = new AssignRequest { Assignee = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, new Guid("Guid of the system account")), Target = new EntityReference("entity logical name", new Guid("Guid of the user")) }; // Execute the Request orgService.Execute(assign);

You can open the user record in CRM and in the ribbon click "Email a link button". Then it will create a draft email with the link. Similar to this.

There you get the guid after 7b part ( I have bolded it).

Please note this id might change from dev to uat. So you can keep this in one of your config files.

In CRM go to security->users and search for "CRM Service" and you should get the user account. Open and click the "Email a link" button. Then get the GUID.

Hi,

You can do an advanced find to list all users. Once you get the System user in the results, open the record and from the browser URL you can get the system guid (take the values between '%257b' & '%257d').

testjulycrm.crm6.dynamics.com/main.aspx;extraqs=%3f_gridType%3d8%26etc%3d8%26id%3d%257b971F403D-D63C-4B72-8586-DE49BC036524%257d%26rskey%3d%257b00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000000666D00%257d&histKey=760813914&newWindow=true&pagetype=entityrecord&rskey=%7b00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000000666D00%7d#715905832

However, I don't think you can use assign request to assign the record to system user as it is an internal account.

Some good read about this here-

You can however achieve this from plugin or workflow by not passing the user id while creating the

var service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(null);

Thank you. How to do this with dependency injection (not a CRM plugin)?

var crmConnection = CrmConnection.Parse(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["OnPremiseIFD"].ConnectionString); var organizationService = new OrganizationService(crmConnection); For<IOrganizationService>() .Use<OrganizationService>() .Ctor<CrmConnection>() .Is(crmConnection); For<Dynamics.Crm.Service.IServiceContext>() .Use<Dynamics.Crm.Service.ServiceContext>() .Ctor<IOrganizationService>() .Is(organizationService);
