In the Security in the MSCRM , there are different security implement in MSCRM, could anyboday define,what is diff between Privileges and acces level in MSCRM Dynamics 2011 ?
A Privilege is a permission to perform an action on a specific entity type in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Privilege is MS CRM 2011 we are providing the privilege Read, Write, Delete, Assign, Share, Append and append to.
Access level is provides accessibility in particular Entity in Microsoft CRM includes four distinct access levels presented in order in MS CRM User Level, Organization level and Business Unit etc.
Here is a good start: how-to-interpret-accessrights-numbers.
Basically there are lots of different privileges. Certain tasks can require multiple privileges. Some privileges also involve access levels that control a users rights to that privilege depending on the ownership of the entity in which they are acting upon.
Example:
So you can grant a user the Read privilege on the Contact entity with an access level of Owner BU, and they will have access to read all Contacts that are in the same BU as they are.
Privileges
Privileges are the most basic security unit in MSCRM, it define what actions a user can perform on each entity in the system.(Example Create, read update,delete,Append, Append To, Assign, Share)
Access level
The Access level indicates which records the user can perform that action upon for that entity like None , user , BU , Parent child BU , Organization

I am using version 6.1. I want to create a user who has most admin capabilities. However I do not want them to have access to creating user groups, users etc. I want them to have access to products etc. Is there a functionality in Backoffice to restrict users from adding users. Is there a way to hid this function in the navigation tree?
THanks
Use Hybris access rights, for example to give read permissions to user group mygroup for item type User (this can be executed as an Impex query):
$START_USERRIGHTS;;;;;;;;;
Type;UID;MemberOfGroups;Password;Target;read;change;create;remove;change_perm
UserGroup;mygroup;;;;;;;;
;;;;User;+;-;-;-;-;
$END_USERRIGHTS;;;;;
I created a new role called medical administrators
My motive is to allow the user role to create/edit/delete the medical records
I went to the custom entities tab and selected "Create, Read, write, Delete, append, append to" against the custom entity.
But when the user tries to access the CRM environment they get the below message
Insufficient Permissions
You do not have permission to access these records. Contact your
Microsoft Dynamics CRM administrator.
What else should I add for the particular user group?
I provided create,read,write,delete to entities like contacts, notes etc and it started working
It is because, there are look up fields to contacts in the entity form of the medical case
Also in the customizations section give read access for Process and the below fields
I have a mainDB.nsf that contains all of the XPages design, agents, script libraries etc. From this database the user selects an application. There may be one or more application databases. Each of the applications databases contain the actual data for the application, plus the views of that data that is accessed in custom controls in the mainDB.
So when a person authenticates against the mainDB they get all their security rights and assume that there is a role in the mainDB called [Finance]. Now there are no real data documents in the mainDB but in the PurchaseReq.nsf there are and anyone with the [Finance] role gets Editor rights to all documents in the PurchaseReq.nsf. So I have defined the role in both the mainDB.nsf and PurchaseReq.nsf. However, I do not want the person with the role [Finance] to have Editor rights in mainDB.nsf but only in PurchaseReq.nsf. If I assign the role to a person in the MainDB.nsf with say Reader rights and duplicate the ACL entry in the PurchaseReq.nsf with Editor rights the user opens a document in PurchaseReq.nsf will they have reader or editor rights.
Seccondly, do I even have to have the role [Finance] in the mainDB.nsf.
I read somewhere about this sort of setup with a design database and multiple data repositories but I can't find that reference.
Access is determined on a per database level - and not across databases.
So if you assign a role to a person in MainDB.nsf with Reader rights and assign a role with the same name with Editor rights in another database, then the person will have reader rights to MainDB.nsf and editor rights to the other database.
The role is not necessary in MainDB unless used for access control to documents/design elements in that database.
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)
My team implemented a UI to assign/revoke permission levels to users on a certain SharePoint list. The UI supplies an "undo" feature to restore the rights the user had before they were changed through our UI.
Now there is a problem if the user had the "Limited Access" permission level: This permission level is removed when you do a change over the UI. When trying to Undo, the permission level should be added again, which leads to a
You cannot grant a user the limited access permission level.
SharePoint grants that permission level automatically when a user gets access to some entity beneath the site. It cannot be granted manually. This permission level is then inherited by all lists in the site. However, after breaking inheritance on a list, I can revoke the right manually, only, I cannot re-grant it afterwards.
So SharePoint treats that permission level quite particularly and I'm wondering how to work around that in our undo feature.
My questions:
Did I get it right that this "limited access" is granted by SharePoint on the site level only, and all the lists beneath only contain that accidentally through inheritance?
Does that permission level have any effect at all on a list, or does it only apply to the site itself?
So, would it be save to just remove it from a list and do not add it anymore when the user clicks "undo", since it has no effect anyway?
I dare to answer my own question just for reference for future readers:
According to Microsoft's article Permission levels and permissions,
The Limited Access permission level
cannot be customized or deleted.
and
(...) Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
automatically assigns this permission
level to users and SharePoint groups
when you grant them access to an
object on your site that requires that
they have access to a higher level
object on which they do not have
permissions. For example, if you grant
users access to an item in a list and
they do not have access to the list
itself, Windows SharePoint Services
3.0 automatically grants them Limited Access on the list, and also the site,
if needed.
In practice this means that:
If you can delete it, that's only because it has been inherited and has no meaning on that certain list.
If later on a user is granted some permissions to a certain list item, so that he needs the Limited Access on the list, SharePoint will take care of adding it again.
Summarized: No concerns to remove and not re-add that access level.
Removing a user with Limited access on the top level site should not actually remove their explicit access on the list or library below (with broken permissions) but MS do say in the above mentioned article:
However, to access a list or library, for example, a user must have permission to open the parent Web site and read shared data such as the theme and navigation bars of the Web site. The Limited Access permission level cannot be customized or deleted.
This suggests that the user's Limited access should be declared on the site permissions. I think its always best to do a test on your site first before making any assumptions.
