What happens when a user is Assigned Multiple Security Roles in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM

What happens when a user is assigned multiple security roles in Microsoft Dynamics CRM?

In smaller organizations, you may find situations when a Manager would like to have access to both a Sales Profile and a Service Profile in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
You may wonder what exactly happens when a user is assigned multiple security roles.
Assume that a user is assigned the profiles shown below in the screenshot. You see that there are different access levels set for each profile. 

You will that when the user gets assigned to both ‘Baseline for all users’ and ‘Sales Person’ profiles, the access levels get combined, and the user then has permissions as shown in the ‘Effective Permissions’ section.

So you see that when a user is assigned multiple roles, the user gains the permissions associated with each role.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Troubleshooting Solution Import Errors

Remember when CRM life was so much simpler that solutions did not yet exist? If you had separate development and production environments and you wanted to move your customizations, you simply clicked  Export Customizations  and voila! It was done. Those were the days. Nostalgia Warning – in case you’ve forgotten, here’s a screenshot to jog your memory: With CRM 2011, the concept of solutions was introduced, giving us a new set of powers – by picking individual entities, workflows, etc., we now had the ability to group together and move only those customizations we wanted to include in our solution. The next great solutions advancement came with CRM 2016: we can now select specific components within each individual entity – so instead of moving the entire contact entity, for example, we have the option of moving only a certain view or field within the entity. And we can do this without having to hack the xml in the zip file. (By the way, if you want to learn more abou...

How to prevent record from saving in Dynamics CRM using Javascript

  From time to time you might need to add some validation to the save event of an entity, this actually used to be an approach I would use on a regular basis but since the introduction of business rules have found myself doing this less and less. But still, knowing the ability is available is handy. When you define the onsave event function, you must tick the “Pass execution contact as first parameter” option. (See below) Having done that you can create an onSave function with code similar to the example I have shown below. Note forgetting the “(context)”, which will take the context parameter allowing you to prevent the save when needed. function onSave(context) { var saveEvent = context.getEventArgs(); if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("telephone1").getValue() == null) { // *** Note: I am using an alert for testing a notification maybe better! alert("Put in a phone number!"); saveEvent.preventDefault(); } } Note: This simple example might be better achi...
