Revoke Access for a User or Team to an Entity using Jscript or .NET in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using RevokeAccessRequest

This illustration shows you how to revoke or remove access from a user (systemuser) or a team to an entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 using the RevokeAccessRequest.   This example will be given in SOAP (JScript) and in C# (.NET).

Ok, here is what the code look like!
First in C#:

RevokeAccessRequest req = new RevokeAccessRequest();

//user we will remove access for
req.Revokee = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, new Guid("05B84284-0872-E011-8947-1CC1DEE8DAD5"));

//Using this line instead of the one above you could just as easily be granting access to a user
//req.Revokee = new EntityReference(Team.EntityLogicalName, new Guid("{team guid here}")),

//the entity we are removing access to
req.Target = new EntityReference(Account.EntityLogicalName, new Guid("B0951D47-FB71-E011-882E-1CC1DEF17774"));

RevokeAccessResponse resp = (RevokeAccessResponse)service.Execute(req);

Now here is the Jscript nicely formatted by the CRM 2011 SOAP formatter. Available at: http://crm2011soap.codeplex.com/

Now in Jscript:

if (typeof (SDK) == "undefined")
   { SDK = { __namespace: true }; }
       //This will establish a more unique namespace for functions in this library. This will reduce the 
       // potential for functions to be overwritten due to a duplicate name when the library is loaded.
       SDK.SAMPLES = {
           _getServerUrl: function () {
               ///<summary>
               /// Returns the URL for the SOAP endpoint using the context information available in the form
               /// or HTML Web resource.
               ///</summary>
               var OrgServicePath = "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";
               var serverUrl = "";
               if (typeof GetGlobalContext == "function") {
                   var context = GetGlobalContext();
                   serverUrl = context.getServerUrl();
               }
               else {
                   if (typeof Xrm.Page.context == "object") {
                         serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();
                   }
                   else
                   { throw new Error("Unable to access the server URL"); }
                   }
                  if (serverUrl.match(/\/$/)) {
                       serverUrl = serverUrl.substring(0, serverUrl.length - 1);
                   } 
                   return serverUrl + OrgServicePath;
               }, 
           RevokeAccessRequest: function () {

           catch (e) { };
        }
        return new Error(errorMessage);
     },
 __namespace: true
};




To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.RevokeAccessRequest function from your form jscript handler.
Thats all there is to it!

I hope this helps!
