Looking for a Web API solution to disable a business unit.

Posted on by davew-d365

I'm looking for a way to use the Web API to disable a business unit and ultimately delete it if possible. I'm aware of the SetStateRequest in the SDK but was hoping for an equivalent Web API action/function. I can't seem to find anything helpful anywhere so hoping someone can help out. I'm suspecting it's not yet possible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

You can simply update the isdisabled field to true of the Business Unit entity (there is no separate function available to set state in Web API).

Here is example request:

PATCH [Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/businessunits(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)?$select=name,isdisabled HTTP/1.1 OData-MaxVersion: 4.0 OData-Version: 4.0 Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Prefer: return=representation {"isdisabled":true}

You can also use delete (using DELETE) verb to remove the BU:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/webapi/update-delete-entities-using-web-api#basic-delete

DELETE [Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/businessunits(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001) HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json OData-MaxVersion: 4.0 OData-Version: 4.0
