How to quickly compare Security Roles

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 365

Hi,

Is there a tool in XrmToolBox to compare different Security Roles easily?


My scenario is the following:

I need to assign a permission to a user (delete records at a BU level), my steps would be:

 1) creating a new security role which gives the mentioned permission

 2) Assign the new security role to the User


First, I need to ensure that there aren't already security roles (other than the system admin) which let perform such operation.
As I have many security roles, it would be great to have a tool which gives me an overview where I can quickly see which security roles are giving which accesses.

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    There is a "Role Comparator" plugin in XrmToolbox.

    Hello Bipin,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am using Privilege Discovery, but it doesn' t show all the privileges for all entities.

    For example, When I type "User" in the Search Bar it shows the entity "User", but it doesn't show the "Write" privilege.

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for your answer.

    The "Role Comparator" lets me filter by role. Is there any option to filter by privilege?

    For example, I need to find all the roles that let access the entity "User" at an Organization level..
