I am encountered with an insane problem when working in Dynamics CRM 2011 on-premises environment. Everything was working just fine 2 days back. There are two different CRM environment on my clients network (PreProd and Production).
I have System Administrator role on PreProd. The problem is that somehow I have restrictive access in CRM. Meaning, I am not able to create, update entity records. Create buttons are not even visible to my user for all entities!! When I open an entity form, Customize tab is not visible. In short, I have limited access even with System Administrator security role. I have never been in a problem like this before.
Any ideas that what could cause this? I don't have access to PreProd server so I can't troubleshoot this problem by myself. Any suggestions which I can convey them which might be helpful??
Thanks.
Try to recheck Access Mode field for mentioned user. Ensure that it has Read-Write value. If it is not - ask to update that field to Read-Write value.
Open user form in CRM and recheck following field:

We are using Harmom.ie for Outlook to save e-mails and documents in SharePoint sites. Recently we started to use the Planner and Groups and we want to use Harmon.ie to save documents and emails into group sites. In Harmon.ie there is an option to enable groups sites. We have done that. When doing this an Office 365 Global admin must give consent. We also done that. However when a user try to access they are not allowed to access. According to the documentation something need to be set up on Azure giving the add proper Graph access.
The question is. How do we do this??? has anyone else got this to work? When we access the app on Azure there is not much we can do?
We are stock! any help will be much appreciated.
There are different ways to solve this. Harmon.ie also allows you to connect to teams & groups - and I suppose this is what you tried to do. We also did this. It was a little bit complex - but after some communication with the harmon.ie support, we got it working.
However, I am proposing a different way to solve your problem. Why? Currently, the problem with this teams and groups connection is, that you are not getting all the functionality of normal site connection (if you connect a SharePoint site to: https://www.harmon.ie). You are only going to see the documents library of your office group - and nothing else. But as an office group just uses a normal SharePoint Site, you could also have other libraries created.
What you can do is, get
1. get the site url (every office group has a SharePoint-Site behind)
2. and book it into harmon.ie manually
You will than have access to the document libraries.
for this solution, you do not need any additional configuration of teams and groups access.
I have a user in CRM 2011 having System Administrator security role (image), when I use that user in my Web Service to retrieve Account entity this error comes up
Principal user (Id=927fbba4-d61a-e311-992b-000c295c9030, type=8) is missing
prvReadAccount privilege (Id=886b280c-6396-4d56-a0a3-2c1b0a50ceb0)
I found the issue:
Below is the work-around if some is having issue:
I We had assigned the user Administrator role:
Looking at different user fields in CRM I cam across:
Clien Access License (CAL) Information:
It was having values:
Access Mode : Administrative
License Type: Full
So I changed the Access Mode to :
Read-Write // Yahooooooooooooooo everything is working on the fly :)
Thanks for your time people.
The System Administrator role has all privileges on all records and this cannot be limited in any way.
I have two hypothesis(es?)
Your Web Service isn't actually operating under credentials of a user having the System Administrator role. This is the most probable explanation, you have to make sure your connection gets passed the correct username/password(/domain unless IFD).
Since you have an ID to check against, you can double check who that user is with a simple OData query:
[crm url]/XrmServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/SystemUserSet(guid'927fbba4-d61a-e311-992b-000c295c9030')
Your CRM setup is messed up (highly unlikely unless you've been fiddling with the database, in that case odd errors and misbehaviors become a quite real possibility)
I have some users accessing CRM directly and some others trough a web portal. I want to disable the access to CRM of some users depending of their security role.
I can't disable users or remove the security roles they have because won't be able to read/write/own i.e Case entity.
Is there any permissions of the security role I can remove for deny this access? I research for it and can't find anything, I suppose the answer is No.
Any workaround for accomplish this?
If you are on UR12 or above, you can try use similar logic as Microsoft has implemented for Control browsers which organization supports. Only difference is that instead of checking what browser user has, you would have to check his roles and decide if he can access CRM vie browser or not.
Look at 'How Does the Solution Work?' section for details.
Removing these permissions:
Core Records: User Entity UI Settings
Business Management: User Settings
Customization: Customizations, System Form, View, Web Resource
Will deny move through CRM, but as #MarioZG says the user will see the UI with a warning message of 'Insufficient Permissions' to see the records.
I'm developing a document management based on the crm sharepoint integrations at the moment. It is realy a nice way to take advantage of the sharepoint document capabilities inside crm 2011.
BUT!:
I see a huge drawback with this attempt, because the sharepoint security model differs from the crm security model. This way, even if a user has no acces to a account entity, for example, it is possible for him to go to the sharepoint site and look at the documents of this entity, because he got permissions on the list for his own account entities.
Why the heck there is no thread about this big security problem? Is there maybe a simple solution to get around this problem?
I hope someone is able to help me.

There exists a commercial out-of-the-box solution solving this problem from Connection Software company (http://connecting-software.com/index.php/en/solutions/products/cb-dynamics-crm-privileges-to-sharepoint-permissions-replicator).
Basically they deploy tiny plugin into CRM that collects all the event that can possibly require change of permissions. There is a extra service that is processing these events and writes folder-level permissions into SharePoint accordingly.
Eugh. Sharepoint.
In my opinion there is no easy way around this and there are other problems with the way it integrates.
I was on a project where we discussed options around this very issue but was moved on before we came to a conclusion.
My suggestion was to use the Sharepoint Security APIs to assign permissions on SP based on roles/events in CRM. All users start with no permissions in SP.
e.g.
User is assigned as owner in CRM - use plugin to call SP API to give permissions to that specific folder. Previous owner has permissions removed.
Opportunity is created. Use SP security API to give permissions to owner of Opportunity to the folder associated with the opportunity.
And etc etc and so on.
It isn't too pretty and depending on requirements could become particular pain to maintain and test, but I didn't see many other options.
But there are plenty of problems with SP integration I think I was lucky that I was moved on to another project!
I'm trying to secure an MS Access 2003 mdb using the workgroup security. I've got most of it set up (using a new MDW etc), but I can't stop people creating new tables in the database, if they've got access to open it. Am I missing something?
None of the accounts have any permissions allowed, I'm doing it all through groups.
Users only have Open\Run access to the database, no access to <New Tables/Queries> and only "Read Data" access on all the other tables, including the MSys* tables.
Any thoughts or am I trying to do the impossible?
--Update--
I've tried using the wizard as suggested, but that still leaves me with the same problem. I created a blank database & ran the wizard on it. Assigned 2 users, Me & User, and removed all access to the standard groups. I added Me into the Admin group & User to the Read Only group.
Not using the MDW denies access, as expected. Logging in as Me allows full access (Design things, add data, delete data, etc), logging in as User will allow read data inexisting tables, but not add data or design them (as expected), but it will still allow creation of a new table, which User will then have full access to add, delete etc.
So, over a year after posting this question, I have another go at solving it, but his time with success!
I came across the Microsoft Accesss Permissions Explorer and this showed that the standard ways of securing the database, both manually and using the wizard still give the Users group explicit Create permsissions on the Tabes Container. This same software also allows the revoking of said permissions, so now I can have a fully secured database, where any user can access the mdb without using a special MDB, but they are only able to access and edit the data I want them to.
Can your users use the runtime version of msAccess? They will not have the ability to create any new Access object, such as table, query, form, etc.
And runtime version is free, so you'll also spare on licences!
