In the previous post, we created a simple custom API https://nishantrana.me/2021/01/13/use-custom-api-to-create-custom-messages-in-dynamics-365/
Let us look at its different properties starting with ExecutePrivilegeName
Execute Privilege Name attribute of custom API allows us to specify the name of the privilege that allows execution of the custom API.
Let us update the custom API and specify the privilege name.
For simplification, we have used prvCreateIncident here i.e. Create Case / Incident Privilege.
To get the Privilege name
https://%5Borgname%5D.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/privileges?$select=name
To test, we updated the security of the Application User to Sales Manager role which doesn’t have the create incident privilege.
Calling the custom API this time as expected gave us the below error
{“error”:{“code”:”0x80040220″,”message”:”Principal user (Id=0f377e29-5545-eb11-a813-000d3a9bf733, type=8, roleCount=1, privilegeCount=727, accessMode=4), is missing prvCreateIncident privilege (Id=6cf9442b-e690-4cad-8b0a-e60464960b93) on OTC=112 for entity ‘incident’. context.Caller=0f377e29-5545-eb11-a813-000d3a9bf733″}}
If we specify an incorrect privilege name we would get the below error and will not be able to save the record.
Hope it helps..

Power Apps now lets us render a column’s data as a small graphic in the grid – a gauge, a sparkline, a colored bar, or stars – instead of plain text.

We recently refactored a large JavaScript solution — replacing a number of deprecated methods with their supported equivalents, along with some performance improvements — the kind of change that touches a lot of files without changing what any of them are actually supposed to do. That solution needed … Continue reading “Comparing Web Resources (JavaScript) Across Multiple Dataverse Environments Using a Console App” - Power Platform Environment Not Showing Up in Maker Portal & Power Platform Admin Center (Dataverse / Dynamics 365)

While optimising the performance of a Dataverse plugin, we noticed a QueryExpression using ColumnSet(true). The business logic only required a few attributes, so replacing ColumnSet(true) with a minimal ColumnSet looked like an easy performance improvement. The query also used Distinct = true, which we left unchanged because it … Continue reading “When Entity.Id Is Guid.Empty with QueryExpression.Distinct = True (Dataverse)”
