Orphans in principalobjectaccess table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sam Alex 6

Hello,

I'm reviewing our principalobjectaccess table, and I'm finding lots of orphans where the ObjectID it's referencing no longer exists.  Most of these are older from before our last upgrade (CRM 2015 to 365 On Prem), so is there something that could've left these? I'm running an SDK process to revoke permissions on these users in hopes that it'll clean them up next time the ASync Delete cleanup process runs, but I'm just concerned as I don't know why they'd exist.  We never run direct database updates/deletes.  

Thanks for any suggestions.

    Could be some glitch on deletion service pickup process. Or some DB restoration might have caused these.

    What are the AccessMask column values for those objectid records? Did you verify those objectid with every single entity type you are using?

    Basically when you unshare/share (grant/revoke) with the users again, they should cleanse the POA entries theoretically. then deletion service should pick them for cleanup ideally.

    Yes, they still have permissions set in AccessRightsMask on most and InheritedAccessRightsMask on all. I'm building a process to clean-up Shares that shouldn't exist any longer, and I'm running it now to start clearing these out.  Just there are so many, it'll take a long time for it to run (like 250,000 of them).
