Hi all,
We are creating Canvas Apps using D365 Fin & Ops entity as a data source. We need to retrieve the Roles assigned to current logged in user. Below is the screenshot of D365 Fin & Ops User and Role association. Please suggest.
Hi Gokulnath,
For an internal demo, I created a canvas app this week having the security role assignments per user with additional information like assignment mode and license type. I would be happy to share my knowledge. Can you tell if you want to embed the app within Dynamics 365 F&O or would it be a stand alone app which should recognize the user? Please share the exact requirements for your app.
Hi Andre Arnaud de Calavon
Thank- you for your response. We are not embedding the app within the Dynamics 365 F&O.
It's the standalone Mobile app. (Canvas app) where we need to hide/show the screens and buttons based on current logged in user Roles.
Thanks,
There are several ways how to do it. For example, there is a custom service for this purpose (SysUserManagement: getRolesForUser). And you can utilize UserSessionService to get the current user ID, if you don't know it.
This is fully different from what I did with my app. I would suggest using the standard security options from Power Apps for this purpose. Design - Securing the app and data - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn
If you insist building your own security framework, you will need to find the user and the roles using the entities SystemUser and SecurityUserRole.
Hi @André Arnaud de Calavon ,
Thank-you for your suggestions. , I can get the logged in user roles using 'SecurityUserRole' table.
