Sample: Associate a Security Role to a User
This sample code is for Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement.
Prerequisites
Internet connection is required to download the sample project and to restore the NuGet packages used in the sample project.
Requirements
For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided here, see Run a simple program using Customer Engagement web services and How to run Dataverse samples?.
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to associate a role with a user by using the IOrganizationService.Associate method. A snippet showing just the key portions of the sample is shown first, followed by the Complete Sample Code. Note that this sample can only be run in an on-premises environment because it creates a user. However, the section of the sample that demonstrates associating a role with a user will work for all environments.
Example
// Connect to the Organization service.
// The using statement assures that the service proxy is properly disposed.
using (_serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serverConfig.OrganizationUri, serverConfig.HomeRealmUri,
serverConfig.Credentials, serverConfig.DeviceCredentials))
{
_serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();
CreateRequiredRecords();
// Find the role.
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression
{
EntityName = Role.EntityLogicalName,
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("roleid"),
Criteria = new FilterExpression
{
Conditions =
{
new ConditionExpression
{
AttributeName = "name",
Operator = ConditionOperator.Equal,
Values = {_givenRole}
}
}
}
};
// Get the role.
EntityCollection roles = _serviceProxy.RetrieveMultiple(query);
if (roles.Entities.Count > 0)
{
Role salesRole = _serviceProxy.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities[0].ToEntity<Role>();
Console.WriteLine("Role {0} is retrieved for the role assignment.", _givenRole);
_roleId = salesRole.Id;
// Associate the user with the role.
if (_roleId != Guid.Empty && _userId != Guid.Empty)
{
_serviceProxy.Associate(
"systemuser",
_userId,
new Relationship("systemuserroles_association"),
new EntityReferenceCollection() { new EntityReference(Role.EntityLogicalName, _roleId) });
Console.WriteLine("Role is associated with the user.");
}
}
DeleteRequiredRecords(promptforDelete);
}
