Determine whether a user has a role
This sample shows how to determine whether a user in Microsoft Dataverse has been associated with a specific role. This is performed by using a query with the IOrganizationService.RetrieveMultiple method. You can download the sample from here.
This sample requires an additional user that isn't available in your system. Create the required user manually in Microsoft 365 in order to run the sample without any errors. For this sample create a user profile as is shown below.
First Name: Dan
Last Name: Park
Security Role: No security role
UserName: dpark@yourorg.onmicrosoft.com
How to run this sample
- Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
- (Optional) Edit the cds/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
- Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in cds/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.
If you do not specify a connection string in cds/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.
Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the cds/App.config file.
