Privilege entity messages and methods
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013
A privilege is a permission to perform an action in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The platform checks for the privilege. It fails if the user does not hold the privilege.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM contains a complete set of privileges for all entities, including custom entities. Privileges cannot be added to the system except that when a custom entity is added, generated custom entity privileges are added for that entity. When a custom entity is deleted, the corresponding privileges are deleted also.
