User Security Manager – My first XrmToolBox Plugin

Being one of the biggest fan and the most frequent daily user of XrmToolBox, always had this wish to write a plugin for it.

Thanks to Prashant Maurya  (a dear friend and ex-Microsoft Employee) for making this wish come true. (Who played the major role in developing it).

The tool is called – User Security Manager.

The Plugin make it easy for the administrators to manage all the security related aspects of the system users. The tool also gives 360-degree information of the user in correspondence to business unit, security roles and teams.

In our current project we had around 180 users using the system divided into more than 50 business units, which involved frequent update of their business unit, changes in the security roles assigned, update in team assignment and also during testing we had to assign the same BU and roles to the test users in the org, which wasn’t that easy to do from the user interface.

So, the idea was to come up with a tool that will let an administrator to

• View all the security roles that assigned to the user either directly or through the team that the user is member of.
• View all the Teams the selected user is part of.
• With just a single click, remove all the security roles assigned to the user.
• With just a single click, remove user from all the teams that he is part of.
• Easily assign and unassign single or multiple security role to the user.
• Easily add or remove user from a single or multiple team.
• Change the Business Unit of the user.
