New XrmToolBox plugin : User Roles Manager

Again, this tool is an application for Robert Boyer, my suggestion box for XrmToolBox tools currently Sourire

So, the tool allows you to select multiple roles and multiple users or teams to:

  • Add the selected roles to selected users or teams
  • Remove the selected roles to selected users or teams
  • Remove all existing roles from selected users or teams and add them roles selected

There is some limitations:

  • You cannot use remove roles action on your own profile
  • Business unit roles, that are not inherited from root business unit can only be added to users/teams in the same business unit

I hope this tool will improve your productivity when the need to add or remove multiple roles on multiples users or teams comes.

Here is a screenshot of the plugin:

As usual, this tool is available as part of the XrmToolBox on CodePlex

NB: There is also a bunch of updates for other tools, check them on the download page

Hi Tanguy,

Im keep having some discussions about supportability of updating Solution's Customizations.xml file... and people are keep saying that it is not supported.
I just wanted to copy over privileges from one Security Role to another ... but we found this that it is not supported to be changed with XML file modification...
Is this tool supported if manual change is not? (although I know what I am doing in the script... not harmful... just copying the privileges section from one Security Role to another)

Unsupported tasks
Defining any other solution components by editing the exported customizations.xml file is not supported. This includes the following:

All my tools that are dealing with security roles are only using SDK messages, no XML edition is involved so yes, the tool use supported technics.
Anyway, the user role manager cannot perform what you are looking for

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

Searchable Propery Attribute Updater

Hi, The previous post was not the last one... :) You can find in this post the first tool that will make your life easier: Just remember when you customer asked you to remove all these unused attributes form the attribute list of the advanced find form... You navigated through all attrbutes form to modify the Searchable property of each attributes for hours... (maybe am I exaggerating a bit...) The program I give you allows you to update all attributes in a single winform application! Yes it can be! Do not hesitate to give me your comments about this program if you think improvements can be done... Download:

Full featured CRM grid in HTML/JS

Image
In last December, I was asked to write a web resource to display a grid with CRM records. I was quite frustrated because I didn’t succeed to manage some grid features easily like fixed header with horizontal scrolling among others. I delivered a fixed table which was not so bad but absolutely not something that look like the application grid views. So I decided to work harder to find a way to do this CRM style grid view. After some works (almost two full days), I have succeeded to create a full featured CRM grid view by using only JavaScript. Here is a screenshot: And this is how I can create a grid view from only a div in a HTML page < html > < head > < title > Page de test </ title > < script src ="json2.js"></ script > < script src ="jquery.js"></ script > < script src ="XrmServiceToolKit.js"></ script > < script src ="sdk.metadata.js"></ script > ...
