Make a report available or unavailable to organization

This sample shows how to make a report available or unavailable to an organization. You can download the sample from here.

Note

This sample applies to both Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) and Dataverse.

How to run this sample

To obtain a local copy of all samples and build them, follow these steps:

1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the instance/organization you want to connect to.
3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you don't specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog opens each time you run the sample, and you'll need to enter information about which instance or org you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog caches previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described above, the sample will do the following:

Setup

1. Checks for the current version of the org.
2. The CreateRequiredRecords method creates any entity records that this sample requires.

Demonstrate

1. The service.Retrieve method retrieves existing personal report.
2. Set IsPersonal parameter to false.
3. The service.Update method makes the report available for the organization.
4. Set IsPersonal parameter to true. This makes the report unavailable for the organization.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the sample data that is created in Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the entities and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
