Scenario/Use case:

If there is need to frequently change the security roles of User in CDS environment say a QA person doing role based testing.

Resolution:

  You can take leverage of Power Automate to perform this repetitive task.

Before you start further make sure to use a Dataverse Connection that has necessary permission to assign or remove security roles to a user. Like a user with a system administrator role.

Demo:

Step 1:

I am using Three variables here –

1. FullName – fullname of the system user whose role you want to update
2. Security Role – it can be a text input also. Here I have used it as dropdown input. The values are the Security Role Names.
3. Clear Other Roles- Yes/No (if we need to remove all roles before applying the selected Role to the user)

Step 2:In the next step – lets retrieve the roleid using List…

We opted ‘Copy over’ as ‘Customization and schema only’, as we don’t need the data to be copied over to the Target instance.

On the Target instance we’ve started the Data Migration activity and noticed frequent connection timeouts. When checked the ‘System Jobs’, there were many “Callback Registration Expander” Jobs stuck at “Waiting For Resources” state.

Reason:

• To understand “Callback Registration Expander” jobs , lets first understand Callbackregistration entity.
• ‘Callback Registration’ entity stores the configuration of Processes and Cloud flows (i.e., Power automate flows).
• So, if you create a new Flow on the instance, a new entry goes in to ‘Callback Registration’ entity.

• Coming back to our issue, when we configured the new Instance using Copy option, “Callback Registration Expander” jobs from the source instance copied to…
