HI Skd,

Please refer to Andre’s blog about automatic role assignment, It is still valid for Dynamics 365.

Hi skd,

Can you provide why you want to use x++ to assign roles to users? Blue shared some links to my blog related to automatic role assignment. You can review them and setup rules instead of x++ coding.

Hi skd,

Agree with Andre here.

Why do you need to code something to add users.

Unless you add a lot of users on a daily basis, you can use the standard functionalities that we have available in the D365FO client to add your users manually.

That seems to be the fastest and cheapest way to me.

Best regards,

Ludwig

I am searching community for the same question and
the piece of code in Sergei's link is the answer!
Thank you Sergei.

I don't understand this question "why you want to make it?"?
SKD asked a totally relevant question.
No need to long explanations, but ok if anyone wants to know the reason, i can give you mine...

We don't want to open doors for a System App (AAD) in upper environments (UAT, QA, PRD...)
So i do my setup in DEV, where third party is testing new OData and API.
(Before any puritan asks why in DEV, no matter we were doing so in TST we would end up with the same problem)
As "Data Dump" occurs from upper environment onto DEV, it overrides our setup, which resides in Data level.
We can assure Application level elements are always present (Security Role, Duties, and Privileges) but for Data level only the user comes from restored DB, roles assignment does not.

And this long story is why i need to easily recreate a simple Role Assignment into my testing environment.
Again, thank you Sergei for enriching community content the simple way.
