Re: Security Permissions required for Merging a record?
Hi Tourism Whistler,
Not sure if you have fouind a solution to your issue. I had the same issue.
My scenario is that both my Users have the same Security Roles and in the same Business Units. But the funny thing is that only one of them can merge the 2 Duplicated Accounts.
Upon further investigation and reading the Securtiy Model page in MS Dynamics CRM, there are 3 kinds of security levels (if you want to call it). They are namely:
1. Role-based security in Microsoft Dynamics CRM focuses on grouping a set of privileges together that describe the responsibilities (or tasks that can be performed) for a user.
2. Record-based security in Microsoft Dynamics CRM focuses on access rights to specific records.
3. Field-level security in Microsoft Dynamics CRM restricts access to specific high business impact fields in an entity only to specified users or teams.
I had to use the "process of elimination" and work through each level. I had a look at the Security Roles and as stated before, the 2 users had the same security roles. So Role-based security was not the
problem for my user,
Very seldom that we use Record-based security. So that eliminates that level of security and finally I came across the field level security where specific field permissions such as Create, Update or Read are added to the filed security profile. So you may want to compare that as the error was quite specific about the reading of some records attributes.
Good luck!
