Example
The following code example shows how to use the RetrievePrincipalAccess 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 SecurityPrincipal object.
// This references the user whose access is being checked.
SecurityPrincipal principal = new SecurityPrincipal();
// Set the properties of th SecurityPrincipal object.
// Type is the typecode of the principalid.
principal.Type = SecurityPrincipalType.User;
// PrincipalId is the GUID of the user whose access is being checked.
principal.PrincipalId = new Guid("F111F0B1-70CE-44B4-8BF2-2E6C7EADA111");
// Create the target for the request.
TargetOwnedAccount owner = new TargetOwnedAccount();
// EntityId is the GUID of the account to which access is being checked.
owner.EntityId = new Guid("2B951FBC-1C56-4430-B23B-20A1349068F3");
// Create the request object.
RetrievePrincipalAccessRequest access = new RetrievePrincipalAccessRequest();
// Set the properties of the request object.
access.Principal = principal;
access.Target = owner;
// Execute the request.
RetrievePrincipalAccessResponse accessResponse = (RetrievePrincipalAccessResponse)service.Execute(access);
