edit privilege for a section

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jayaa E 75

I have a custom entity. In that entity, I have a section called 'documents' as per the below screenshot, this is an Html web resource. For now, only record owner can edit the records and other users have read-only privilege, I want to make other users can edit the documents section and save the record(only documents section, other fields/section should remain as it is(read-only)). This is on-premise

Could anyone please suggest the best way to achieve this. screnshot_2D00_doc.PNG

    Hello,

    That doesn't look like it's the OOB grid so it's the custom one and it's either developed by your developers (so you should ask them on how you can implement your scenario) or it's thirdparty and you should ask them if you can do anything here.

    Good luck.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your response.

    Yes, It is a custom web resource. I am checking, is there a way to control the edit privilege for other users with respect to section.

    It would be required to develop your custom webresource the way you described.

    I am trying to edit the above web resource tab using the below javascript. Not sure why it is not working, maybe because it is a web resource. The same code is working for other tabs and sections. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    function EditTab (tabName, sectionName, flag)

       {

           let section = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabName).sections.get(sectionName);

           if (!section)

           {

               return;

           }

           let controls = section.controls.getAll();

           for (let i = 0; i < controls.length; i++)

           {

               try

               {

                   controls[i].setDisabled(flag);

               }

               catch

               {

                   console.log("Couldn't block " + controls[i].getName())

               }

           }

       }

    Hi,

    See below link.

    srmscrm.wordpress.com/.../

    Also, you should not be using Xrm.Page as it is depreciated instead use formcontext.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../clientapi-form-context

    I think better way to find out the culprit is to debug your code. Debugging is so much fun.

    Please mark my answer verified if i were helpful

    Thanks for the link Bipin. My version is 8.2. So I am using xrm.page, I have tried this piece of code.

    But I am getting the error-typeerror: control.setDisabled is not a function.

    function DisableAllControlsInTab(tabControlNo)

    {  

    var tabControl = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabControlNo);

       if (tabControl != null)

    {    

         Xrm.Page.ui.controls.forEach

    (

        function (control, index)

    {          

    if (control.getParent().getParent() == tabControl && control.getControlType() != "subgrid")

    {              control.setDisabled(true);  

           }      

    });

         }

    }

    Try to replace the line

    if (control.getParent().getParent() == tabControl && control.getControlType() != "subgrid")

    with line

    if (control.getParent().getParent() == tabControl && control.getControlType() != "subgrid" && control.setDisabled)

    Hi Andrew,

    After adding that condition, I am getting the error- typeerror cannot read property 'getparent' of null

    That's why you should master JavaScript troubleshooting - you will be able to fix the issue yourself without involving anyone else. In your case you can try to replace the same line with following:

    if (control.getParent() && control.getParent().getParent() == tabControl && control.getControlType() != "subgrid" && control.setDisabled)

    This is working for all other fields under that tab, but not for the webresource.
