Sample AppId / ClientId and RedirectUri for quick prototyping (Dataverse / Dynamics 365)


At times we want to quickly try out few things (PoC) by writing a console application or running an SSIS package etc., there we can use the sample ClientId and RedirectUri provided by Microsoft, instead of registering the application in Azure AD / creating Application User 

  • Sample AppId or ClientId = 51f81489-12ee-4a9e-aaae-a2591f45987d
  • Sample RedirectUri = app://58145B91-0C36-4500-8554-080854F2AC97

How to – Hide and show controls in Canvas App based on security role of the user (Dataverse / Dynamics 365)


Suppose we have the below Maker and Checker Canvas App, with two button one for raising the request and the other for approving and rejecting the request.

We have below custom security roles created in our Dynamics 365

  • Maker
  • Checker

Here we want Submit a Request button to be visible only to users with Maker security role and the Approve and Reject Request button to users with Checker role.

For this we can write the below formula on Visible property of the button.

Add the Users and Security Roles data sources first.

If(

LookUp([@’Security Roles’], Name = “Maker”, Role) in Concat(LookUp([@Users], ‘Primary Email’ = User().Email).’Security Roles (systemuserroles_association)’, Role & “;”),

true,

false

)

 

Based on email address of the user, we are comparing the Maker security role with all the different roles assigned to the user, which we are fetching from systemuserroles_association.

  • User function in Power Apps

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-user

  • Lookup function in Power Apps

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-filter-lookup

Hope it helps..

If(LookUp([@'Security Roles'], Name = "Maker", Role) in Concat(LookUp([@Users], 'Primary Email' = User().Email).'Security Roles (systemuserroles_association)', Role & ";"),
true,
false)

Interactive login option in CDS/CRM Connection Manager in KingswaySoft Dynamics 365 Integration Toolkit


With the new release, the CDS/CRM connection manager adds a new Interactive Login option in the CDS/CRM Connection Manager for Authentication Type as OAuth.

Interactive login allows the user to log in using his account details (to establish the connection with CRM) without the need for registering the application in the Azure Active Directory.

This is supposed to be used only during design time.

Enter User Name and the CDS/CRM URL and click on Test Connection.

The login screen pops up, where we can enter the credentials and sign in.

We’d receive the Test connection succeeded message.

Now we are ready to use the CRM Connection.

Now when we will run the package from within the Visual Studio (SSDT), it will again ask for entering the credentials.

The other option is to use the OAuth Type Password along with default Client App ID and Redirect URL

Fixed – We are having trouble loading your form preview. Check to make sure you have access error in Power Apps


While trying to open a form for customization for a custom entity we were getting below error within the maker portal.

The user was an admin user.

The same was the case in both Chrome and Edge browsers.

The only way we could proceed was by switching to classic experience.

Switching to Classic worked

After updating the form in classic and publishing the changes, the form started working properly in the maker portal also.

We were able to customize the form in both Chrome and Edge.

Hope it helps..

Fixed – AuthorizationFailed. The client with object id does not have authorization to perform action ‘’Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write’ over scope ‘storageaccount’ – Azure Data Lake


While configuring the Azure Synapse Link/ Export to Data Lake service, we were getting below error for one of the users.

{“code”:”AuthorizationFailed”,”message”:”The client ‘nishantr@pmaurua105.onmicrosoft.com’ with object id ‘d56d5fbb-0d46-4814-afaa-e429e5f252c8’ does not have authorization to perform action ‘Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write’ over scope ‘/subscriptions/30ed4d5c-4377-4df1-a341-8f801a7943ad/resourceGroups/RG/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/saazuredatalakecrm/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/2eb81813-3b38-4b2e-bc14-f649263b5fcf’ or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.”}

The current Role assignments of the user were as below.

To resolve it we need to give the Owner role to the user configuring the Export to Data lake service on the Storage account. (apart from System Admin role within Dynamics 365)

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/data-platform/export-to-data-lake#prerequisites

After assigning the Owner Role (and removing the other roles), it worked successfully.
