CRMLead.GrantAccess Method

  • Article

The GrantAccess method grants a security principal access to the specified lead. This method also applies to all child objects of the lead. For all child objects, if the caller does not have share privileges for those object types or share rights to the objects, the child objects are not shared. As a result, the owner of the object or a user who shares the object with share rights automatically has share rights to all child objects of the lead. In this case, only the lack of privileges for a particular object type prevents the child objects from being shared.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub GrantAccess(
  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal LeadId As String,
  ByVal Rights As UInt32,
  ByVal Grantee As CSecurityPrincipal
)
[C#]
public void GrantAccess(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  LeadId,
  uint  Rights,
  CSecurityPrincipal  Grantee
);
[C++]
public: void GrantAccess(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  LeadId,
  unsigned long  Rights,
  CSecurityPrincipal*  Grantee
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvShareLead privilege and access rights on the object to be shared. See CUserAuth.

LeadId

Specifies the ID of the lead to be shared.

Rights

Specifies the rights that are to be granted. See ACCESSRIGHTS.

Grantee

Specifies the security principal (user or team) with whom the lead is to be shared. See CSecurityPrincipal.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.

All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}

Example

[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";

// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

// CRMLead proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMLead lead = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMLead ();
lead.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
lead.Url = strDir + "CRMLead.srf";

string strErrorMsg;
string strLeadId = "{0876468B-8FC4-4381-8D81-C0B4D05E9386}";
string strUserId = "{ECF99EF1-3858-4E06-ABD9-EBFE526BF9FF}";
try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Create a new security principal
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal securityPrincipal = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal();
   securityPrincipal.Id = strUserId;
   securityPrincipal.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.SecurityPrincipalType.sptUser;

   uint rights = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.AccessRights.CRM_ACCESS_READ;

   // Grant the user access to the lead
   lead.GrantAccess(userAuth, strLeadId, rights, securityPrincipal);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
   // Process the platform error here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch (Exception err)
{
   // Process other errors here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message );
}
