CRM 2011 - CreateOnBehalfOf using SDK

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello -

I am trying to create an account in Dynamics via SDK. I'm creating a proxy as a different user to "createonbehalfof"... like this.

http://www.powerobjects.com/2012/08/06/how-to-impersonate-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm/

I'm setting the caller ID to one user, but the account is still being CREATED BY the service account hooked up through the service.

In our production environment, it works fine. In Beta, it is replicating like described above. What debugging techniques can i perform? In

    Few options:

    1.Changing the settings in plugin steps (run as user, execution user whatever...)

    2.Modify the plugins code for execution user

    IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(<USERID>);

    3.If it is just createdby, you can try assign value to the overwrite createdby field (you need to grant some privilege). Try google you will find the answer.

    Yeah.. plugins look to be the exact same between the two environments. Any other suggestions?

    Hi,
    You don't need code to check "user context" that I told. Just use Plugin Registration Tool and find your related plugin and step, after that check "Run in User’s Context" property inside Plugin Registration Tool.

    You can also reverse eng. your assemblies however I'm not sure about their health. You can check "Assembly Recover Tool" and also https://crmbusiness.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/crm-2015-how-to-decompile-plugin-code/

    Hi -

    thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, i cannot dig into the plugins more than i can see in the sdk message processing steps. i'm unsure of how to open them. and i'm not sure which revision of our code is deployed. Is there a way to reverse engineer these plugins and pull the code out of what's actually in dynamics?

    Hi,

    Did you check your plugin's "Run in User’s Context" property, maybe this is not "Calling User".

    Please check this msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh237515(v=crm.6).aspx
