Dynamics 365 9.0 has introduced a new feature that enables adding field dependency with a JavaScript web resource. It gives below benefits

1. It will restrict deletion of field(s) if it is being consumed in a js web resource. In earlier versions user was able to delete field(s) even if it is used in a js logic, and it causes exception in js execution.

   

2. Dependent field(s) value will be available on form UI, even if it is not added on form. That’s right you don’t have to fetch its value from CRM now (earlier we have to fetch field(s) value using odata or web API if it is not available on form and its value is needed in js logic.)

a user’s security role is the sum of the security roles directly assigned to the user + sum of the roles the user derives through it’s association with the Teams (provided teams are given security role)

And here I was, where a user is belonging to a team and the team has a security with all the right privileges assigned to make the user work in Dynamics.

When I assigned the role directly to the user and the user is not part of the team, it just worked fine. Now comes the other way round. I remove the user’s security role, assign the same security role to a team and add the user to the team.

As you can see…
