Accessing the web service access key of a user from assisted setup in AL extension

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Erik S 35

Hello Business Central Community,

This is my first question here so I hope it is posted in the right place and not asked before.

The existing assisted setup "Set up Dynamics 365 Sales connection" lets the user select a user account that will be used as service user and displays the webservice access key.

My question is how to accomplish this in our own extension. So far I haven't found a Table or CodeUnit that allows retrieving webservice access keys. Is this even possible from an extension?

    Did you check function "GetWebServicesKey" in codeunit 9801 - Identity Management?

    Thanks for the response. I had not found that specific code unit yet so thanks again. Sadly the function cannot be used in an extension apparently as I get the following error:

    The type or method 'GetWebServicesKey' cannot be used for 'Extension' development.AL(AL0296)

    I think this is not possible for security reasons.
