Unable to set owner of contact via code due to permissions on child entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Seamus 1,577

Hello,

I am running a custom/coded import job, part of which updates the contact owner.

For some records I am unable to set the owner because they have child records which are/need to be be owned by a different team (the child entity is confidential, whereas the parent contact is not).

Due to this confidentiality I cannot give the read permission (to read the child/custom entity) to the team to which I wish to assign contact ownership.

I have changed the contact > child entity relationship to Cascade None on "Reparent". I thought this would solve the issue but it has not. The error is

Error updating contact xxxxx Principal team (Id=xxxxxxxxx, type=9, teamType=0, privilegeCount=1012), is missing prvReadnew_customentity

Note, I am ONLY trying to set the owner of the parent contact, NOT the custom child entity.

I know I could use a workflow but I would prefer not to have to. Any ideas welcome. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Can you also change Assign cascade mode to none and see if it works.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../entity-relationship-behavior

    Is there any harm in providing read access to child entity prvReadnew_customentity?

    You need to change the type of behavior from Parental to referential. You can find at Customization > Entities > Contact > 1:N Relationships > Open relationship with child entity and update as below.
