Update: Access Checker

Thanks to Andrew request (see previous post comments), I uploaded a new version of the tool.

New features:
  • Tooltip on each privilege to see the privilege ID
  • A "name" resolution is made against the object ID specified (I use the primary attribute of the entity)

I will focus next on the peformance of the tool (I need to do some clean up on the CrmService reference to speed the tool)...

Enjoy

In order to speed up the tool try to use filtered views queries instead CrmService.

After that will be possible to write SQL-query to check required entity access privileges for one pass.

You are rigth but this requires to have access to the SQL Server.

As all my tools supports IFD authentication, I don't use the filteredview method...

But trust me, By cleaning the web service reference (ie. remove all classes not used in the tool), it will speed up the tool

Use feature flags in your plugins

Lately, there was a discussion on Twitter about the best practice to handle plugins: One class per plugin? One project per plugin? or anything else? On my side, I'm using one project for all the plugins for the same customer. This is what I answered on Twitter. Then came a question : How do I handle the fact that some plugins may have not been tested or completed yet and I need to release the plugins assembly. The answer was : Feature flag! What is a feature flag? It's a concept that will allow to enable/disable some features or portion of code depending on a configuration. Let's take an example where a plugin must execute two features : Feature A and Feature B public class MyPlugin : IPlugin { public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) { var service = new MyCustomService(); service.ExecuteFeatureA(); service.ExecuteFeatureB(); } } We need to find a way to execute conditionally these methods, let's say because feature B

New XrmToolBox plugin : Import/Export NN relationships

Image
Two plugins in one day! wow! This one was, in fact, developed a couple of months ago. One of my colleague was using a solution from my fellow MVP Andrii Butenko which allows to import/export NN relationships in a silverlight web resource. This was nice but my colleague was using other attributes than primary key to do the mapping and Andrii’s solution does not support this. So he asked me to develop a XrmToolBox’s plugin that could do this. And, here it is! You can select entities and relationships and moreover, choose mapping attributes on both enitities. I only let text and number attributes selectable as other does not really make sense for mapping purposes. Then you can import or export NN relationships! Here is a preview As usual, this plugin, among other, is available with XrmToolBox on CodePlex
