How to Assign a Security Role to a User in Microsoft Dynamics 365
Assign or change security roles in 6 simple steps
This time in Microsoft Dynamics Support, we’ll look at how to assign a security role to a user in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.
Security roles grant specific, entity-based privileges and access levels to users. In other words, security roles determine what information a user can access, edit, add, change, remove, etc.
Role-based privileges and access levels are additive, meaning that a user with multiple roles and/or teams will have all the rights granted by those roles and teams.
Whenever you add a user to CRM, you will need to assign that user one or more security roles.
You may also need to add, remove, or change a user’s security roles from time to time if that user’s role in your organization changes.
Fortunately, assiging or changing a security role in Microsoft Dynamics 365 is quite simple.
