Sample: Audit user access

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:

SampleCode\CS\DataManagement\Auditing\UserAccessAuditing.cs
SampleCode\VB\DataManagement\Auditing\UserAccessAuditing.vb

Requirements

For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code. This sample requires the logged on user to have the System Administrator role for enabling auditing on an organization.

Demonstrates

This sample demonstrates how to audit user access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Example

The sample first enables user access auditing with the logged on user’s organization. Next, it creates and modifies an account entity so that audit records are generated. Finally, the sample displays the audited information.
