What Roles Are Required to Grant a User Access to Customer Service Workspace in Dynamics 365?

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sohom Rik 59

Hello,

I am working with Dynamics 365 and trying to provide a user access to the Customer Service Workspace. I have assigned the necessary roles, but the user is still unable to access the workspace. Could you please clarify which specific roles are required to grant a user permission to access the Customer Service Workspace?

Here is what I have tried so far:

  • Assigned the Basic User and Omnichannel Admin roles, but the user still encounters issues accessing the workspace.
  • I ensured that the security roles include read permissions for entities associated with Customer Service.

Is there a specific combination of roles I should assign, or are there any additional settings I need to check for app access?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    To grant a user access to Customer Service Workspace in Dynamics 365, the user needs specific roles. These typically include the Customer Service Representative or Customer Service Manager role. Additionally, assigning appropriate security roles like System Administrator or custom roles may be required for broader access.

    Hi, given that you've already assigned the Basic User and Omnichannel Admin roles, also try assigning these roles:
     
    • Customer Service Representative: for user to work with cases and other customer service-related entities.
    • App Profile User: Provides the necessary privileges to access the Customer Service Workspace.
    • Omnichannel Agent: Necessary if the user needs to handle omnichannel interactions.
    • Omnichannel Supervisor: Required if the user needs to supervise omnichannel interactions
     
     
    If the user still can't access the Customer Service Workspace after assigning the roles, here are some additional steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
     
    1. Verify Role Privileges:
      • Double-check that the assigned roles (Customer Service Representative, App Profile User, Basic User, Omnichannel Agent, and Omnichannel Supervisor) have the correct privileges for all required entities. Ensure they have read, write, append, and append to permissions.
    2. App Access:
      • Confirm that the user has access to the Customer Service Workspace app. This can be managed through the App Profile Manager. Ensure the user is included in the app profile that grants access to the workspace.
    3. Clear Cache and Cookies:
      • Sometimes, clearing the browser cache and cookies or trying a different browser can resolve access issues.
    4. Check User Licenses:
      • Ensure the user has the appropriate Dynamics 365 licenses assigned. The user needs a license that includes access to the Customer Service Workspace.
    5. Environment and Customizations:
      • Check if there are any custom security roles or specific configurations in your environment that could be affecting access. Customizations or specific environment settings might override default role permissions.
    6. Security Group Membership:
      • Verify if the user is part of any security groups that might restrict access. Ensure the user is included in the appropriate security groups that have access to the Customer Service Workspace.
    7. Role Hierarchy:
      • Ensure there are no conflicts in the role hierarchy that might be causing access issues. Sometimes, higher-level roles might override permissions set by lower-level roles.
    8. Support and Documentation:
      • If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance. They can provide more detailed troubleshooting based on your specific environment and setup.
