Using RetrieveTeamPrivilegeRequests to Retrieve Privileges for a Team Using Jscript and .NET in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

This illustration shows you how to retrieve the privileges for a team in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 using the RetrieveTeamPrivilegesRequest.   This example will be given in SOAP (JScript) and in C# (.NET).

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

RetrieveTeamPrivilegesRequest req = new RetrieveTeamPrivilegesRequest();

//team in CRM you want to look up privileges for
req.TeamId = new Guid("0EF1FA21-7F70-E011-882E-1CC1DEF17774");

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

foreach(RolePrivilege priv in resp.RolePrivileges)
{

   //can act on  priv.PrivilegeId, businessunitid is also included along with extensiondata
}

If you need help instantiating a service object in .NET within a plugin check out this post:

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;
               }, 
           RetrieveTeamPrivilegesRequest: function () {
               var requestMain = ""
               requestMain += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">";

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

I hope this helps!

  1. If you have any desire to recruit a Haskell developer you will need to realize that they ultimately depend on the task that you have at the top of the priority list. While it is quite often best to enlist somebody with an IT degree that in itself isn't any assurance that they will actually want to work with Haskell.

    Your Haskell engineer should have insight with the utilization of Haskell and ideally other useful programming dialects. Having experience across different dialects, for example, Scala will assist them with guaranteeing that they will actually want to convey what you really want>> Mobilunity
