Field level security update privilege

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Goutham A

have some questions on using Field level Security for some requirement..

  • When using FLS, can an attribute have update privilege but no read privilege for a particular user?What happens to such attribute when retrieved(via sdk and webapi)  and what would be the behavior on form? will it return null and ****?
  • If 2 or more security profiles give different access to particular field for same user, how is the final privileges calculated?
  • Can we secure an option set value attribute by specifying default value?
  • Any easy way to check(without querying attribute metadata) if the current user has access to update a particular field on form via javascript?

Please help?

    Just found this - should answer #4

    getUserPrivilege

    Returns an object with three Boolean properties corresponding to privileges indicating if the user can create, read or update data values for an attribute.

    Hi,

     as for #1, just to clarify, you can use update without read:

    www.itaintboring.com/.../masked-fields-in-dynamics-365

     I'm pretty sure you will get null for such fields if you query them through Web API/SDK.

     As for the javascript.. Wondering what will happen if you use getValue on the control(at least on the text controls). Might just give you "***" 

     Everything else is as Henry suggested..

    1. I believe that if you only have the update privilege you will not be able to see values in values. You need Read.

    2. The most permissive rights are applied

    3. What do you mean default value for an option set ? People will not be able to set data in it if they don't have the create / write privilege

    4. I don't think such an easy method exist. You could do a JavaScript calling an action to check privileges.
