CRMEmail.GrantAccess Method

  • Article

The GrantAccess method grants a security principal access to the specified e-mail object. This method also applies to all child objects of the e-mail object. 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 e-mail object. 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 EmailId As String,
  ByVal Rights As UInt32,
  ByVal Grantee As CSecurityPrincipal
)
[C#]
public void GrantAccess(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  EmailId,
  uint  Rights,
  CSecurityPrincipal  Grantee
);
[C++]
public: void GrantAccess(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  EmailId,
  unsigned long  Rights,
  CSecurityPrincipal*  Grantee
);

Parameters

Caller

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

EmailId

Specifies the ID of the e-mail object to be shared.

Rights

Specifies the rights that are to be granted to the specified security principal. See ACCESSRIGHTS.

Grantee

Specifies the security principal (user or team) with which the e-mail 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";

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

string strErrorMsg;
uint rights = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.AccessRights.CRM_ACCESS_WRITE;
string strActivityId = "{33A081D8-ABFF-4103-9E9B-DB0A4B1FD48E}";
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;

   // Grant access to the e-mail object
   email.GrantAccess(userAuth, strActivityId, 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 );
}
