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
}

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 = ""

To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.

http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/03/microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-parsing.html

Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.RetrieveTeamPrivilegesRequest function from your form jscript handler.  

Thats all there is to it!

I hope this helps!
