Sample: Disable a user
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\BusinessDataModel\UsersAndRoles\DisableOREnableUser.cs
SampleCode\VB\BusinessDataModel\UsersAndRoles\DisableOREnableUser.vb
Requirements
For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to create a user in an Active Directory environment using the SetStateRequest message. A snippet showing just the key sections 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 portion of the sample that demonstrates disabling the 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 = ServerConnection.GetOrganizationProxy(serverConfig))
{
_serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();
CreateRequiredRecords();
// Retrieve a user.
SystemUser user = _serviceProxy.Retrieve(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName,
_userId, new ColumnSet(new String [] {"systemuserid", "firstname", "lastname"})).ToEntity<SystemUser>();
if (user != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("{1} {0} user account is retrieved.", user.LastName, user.FirstName);
SetStateRequest request = new SetStateRequest() {
EntityMoniker = user.ToEntityReference(),
// Sets the user to disabled.
State = new OptionSetValue(1),
// Required by request but always valued at -1 in this context.
Status = new OptionSetValue(-1)
/*
//Sets the user to enabled.
State = new OptionSetValue(0),
// Required by request but always valued at -1 in this context.
Status = new OptionSetValue(-1)
*/
};
_serviceProxy.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine("User account is disabled.");
}
DeleteRequiredRecords(promptforDelete);
}
' Connect to the Organization service.
' The using statement assures that the service proxy is properly disposed.
_serviceProxy = ServerConnection.GetOrganizationProxy(serverConfig)
Using _serviceProxy
_serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes()
CreateRequiredRecords()
' Retrieve a user.
Dim user As SystemUser =
_serviceProxy.Retrieve(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName,
_userId,
New ColumnSet(New String() {"systemuserid", "firstname", "lastname"})).ToEntity(Of SystemUser)()
If user IsNot Nothing Then
Console.WriteLine("{1} {0} user account is retrieved.", user.LastName, user.FirstName)
