Need to limit access (Read, Write, Append) to records assigned to a Team

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

I have created a new Business Unit for Europe under our overall umbrella ABC.  I created a team within the Europe Business Unit call Europe Team to own the records under the Business Unit Europe.  This team consists of 3 users who are also part of the overall ABC. All this was done with the intention of keeping all records under Europe and owned by Europe Team private.  But all my users can access these records as well as write and append to these records.  What did I do wrong here? Does this have anything to do with All Owner Teams vs. All User Access Teams?

    If the EUROPE team is un under ABC so ABC will see the records for sure. the idea is to create multiples teams under your ORG in the security business units/Teams (use hierarchy to achieve this security model) Ex. ORG is your company highest level, create America and Europe under the ORG, assign all your users depending on the location in America or Europe and keep only the admin or your CEOs in ORG to see all records. that's it

    Hello mblozis,

    You can limit access to records assigned to a team by using Security Roles and Teams. This can be accomplished in the following steps:

    1. Create a new team or use an existing team in Dynamics 365 CRM. Make sure that the team has the appropriate members.

    2. Create a new security role or use an existing security role. In the security role, go to the "Record-Level Security" section and configure the access level for the entities that you want to limit access to. For example, if you want to limit access to Accounts, you can set the access level to "User" and select "Team" as the filter.

    3. Assign the new security role to the team members that you want to limit access to.

    Once the above steps are completed, only the members of the team assigned to the security role will have access to the records assigned to the team. They will only be able to read, write, and append the records, depending on the access level that you have configured in the security role.

    It's important to keep in mind that Dynamics 365 CRM security roles allow to grant access on specific records level, but to grant access to the whole entity you need to use the "Entity-level security" section of the security role.

    Additionally, if you want to grant access to a specific record level to only certain records of an entity, you can create a custom view and grant access to that view to the desired security role, this way only those records that match the filters of the view will be accessible.

    If you are an admin user, then you can use the "Check Access" ribbon to check about the issue. The "Check Access" button in Dynamics 365 allows you to check the access level of a user for a specific record. When you click on this button, a dialog box will appear that displays the access level of the current user for the record, as well as a list of the security roles that grant the user that access.
