We have Salesreps that we want to have full form access to Accounts where they are the Record Owner. However, we want them to see certain key information about ALL Accounts, just not EVERYTHING. We have played with security roles, field security, and form security, but nothing gives us control at the USER / RECORD OWNER level (they all apply to security roles from what we have seen). We are fine with needing to have multiple forms and security roles to accomplish this, and even needing to implement some Javascript, but we don’t know where to begin. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you!
We have not fully tested this, as we are worried about relying too heavily on Javascript in case things break down in the future, but this response gives the entire framework we need when we are ready to give it a try. Thank you again Goutam! Wei Jie Fun below also brought up a good point below, that while this limits the view the User will have on the form, if their permissions in the background allow for them to see everything, they can use a workaround with Advanced Finds to see any columns they want. Not 100% what we want, but at this point, we will need to compromise on some things, and this still seems like the best solution. :-)
Hi,
I am wondering, lets say if you hide those fields, but users still can access those hidden field via advanced find , reports and etc. Have you thought about that? or you dont mind it .
Hi ,
Thank you ! I am impressed your words , so thought why not I share full code to you :) -
You just need to
- Create a section in a tab and include the field.
- Create web resource and copy paste below code.
- Replace Tab Name /Section Name.
// Register Below method in the form onload function OnLoadSectionShowHide() { var currentUserId = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId(); var ownerId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue(); // Make sure owner fields should available in the form ownerId = ownerId.slice(1, -1); var userId = currentUserId.slice(1, -1); var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/systemuserrolescollection?$select=roleid&$filter=systemuserid eq " + userId + "", true); req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\""); req.onreadystatechange = function () { if (this.readyState === 4) { req.onreadystatechange = null; if (this.status === 200) { var results = JSON.parse(this.response); for (var i = 0; i < results.value.length; i++) { var userRoleId = results.value[i].roleid; var userRoleName = GetRoleName(userRoleId); // Assume that user will have one security role if (userRoleName == "Salesreps" && userId != ownerId) { // Replace Role Name // Hide Section or fields Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tabname").sections.get("sectionname").setVisible(false); //Replace tab Name /Section Name } } } else { Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText); } } }; req.send(); } //Get Rolename based on RoleId function GetRoleName(roleId) { var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/roles(" + roleId + ")?$select=name", false); req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\""); req.onreadystatechange = function () { if (this.readyState === 4) { req.onreadystatechange = null; if (this.status === 200) { var result = JSON.parse(this.response); var roleName = result["name"]; alert(roleName); } else { Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText); } } }; req.send(); }
Thank you for the thorough and speedy response Goutam! I am going to work on implementing this with my team, and if it works, I will make sure to mark your answer as verified. :-)
Hi,
I think for your requirement you need to write client side JS. Lets assume you have 20 fields in account form and out of 20 fields you dont want to show 5 fields for all accounts those are not owned by user and if the user having salesreps security role. So add those 5 fields in a section.
Show hide the fields or section based on the condition like below -
Get the user security role , see below reference --
community.dynamics.com/.../229425
Get current record owner id in the form onload --
community.dynamics.com/.../103674
Get login user id -Xrm.Page.context.getUserId()
Once you get above information
if(UserRole == "Salesreps" && UserID != OwnerId)
{
// Hide Section or fields
//Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tabname").sections.get("sectionname").setVisible(false);
}
else if(UserRole == "Salesreps" && UserID == OwnerId)
{
// Show section or fields
//Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tabname").sections.get("sectionname").setVisible(true);
}
else
{
// Show section or fields
//Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tabname").sections.get("sectionname").setVisible(true);
}
