Replaces the access rights on the target entity instance for the specified security principal (user or team).
The relevant classes are specified in the following table.
| Type | Class |
| Request | ModifyAccessRequest |
| Response | ModifyAccessResponse |
| Target | TargetOwned Class |
| Entity | See below. |
The following table shows the entities and target classes for this message.
Remarks
To use this message, pass an instance of the ModifyAccessRequest class as the request parameter in the Execute method.
This action applies to all child instances of the target entity instance. For all child instances, if the caller does not have share privileges for those entity types, or share rights to the instances, the child instances are not shared. As a result, the owner of the entity instance, or a user who shares the instance with share rights, automatically has share rights to all child instances of the target entity instance. In this case, only the lack of privileges to a particular entity type prevents the child instances from being shared.
For a description of how actions on a parent instance affect child instances, see Cascading Rules.
To perform this action, the caller must have access rights on the entity instance specified in the request class. For a list of required privileges, see ModifyAccess Privileges.
Example
The following code example shows how to use the ModifyAccess message.
[C#]
// Set up the CRM service.
CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
// You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.
token.AuthenticationType = 0;
token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Create the Security Principal Object
SecurityPrincipal principal = new SecurityPrincipal();
principal.Type = SecurityPrincipalType.User;
// PrincipalId is the Guid of the user whose access is being modified
principal.PrincipalId = new Guid("7B222F98-F48A-4AED-9D09-77A19CB6EE82");
// Create the PrincipalAccess
PrincipalAccess principalAccess = new PrincipalAccess();
// Set the PrincipalAccess Object's Properties
principalAccess.Principal = principal;
// gives the principal access to read
principalAccess.AccessMask = AccessRights.ReadAccess;
// Create the Target Object for the Request
TargetOwnedAccount target = new TargetOwnedAccount();
// EntityId is the Guid of the account whose access is being modified
target.EntityId = new Guid("2B951FBC-1C56-4430-B23B-20A1349068F3");
// Create the Request Object
ModifyAccessRequest modify = new ModifyAccessRequest();
// Set the Request Object's Properties
modify.PrincipalAccess = principalAccess;
modify.Target = target;
// Execute the Request
ModifyAccessResponse modified = (ModifyAccessResponse)service.Execute(modify);
