CRMAccount.MakePrivate Method
The MakePrivate method makes the account unavailable to anyone except the owner and the users that share the object. Only the owner of an account can make it private. By default, all objects are public. See Remarks.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub MakePrivate(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal AccountId As String
)
[C#]
public void MakePrivate(
CUserAuth Caller,
string AccountId
);
[C++]
public: void MakePrivate(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* AccountId
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvWriteAccount privilege and must be the object owner. See CUserAuth.
AccountId
Specifies the ID of the account to be made private.
Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
Note The Microsoft CRM application does not provide an interface for making an object private. However, if an object is made private by using a third-party solution, the application recognizes this setting.
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";
// CRMAccount proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMAccount account = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMAccount ();
account.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
account.Url = strDir + "CRMAccount.srf";
string strErrorMsg;
string strAccountId = "{3E24E79C-7EC5-4473-95FF-7E46FEBB534B}";
try
{
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();
// Make it private
account.MakePrivate(userAuth, strAccountId);
}
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 );
}
