Common questions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM

How to fix RetrievePrivilegeForUser failed - no roles are assigned to user?

By default, when a CRM user is created in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the user has no security roles. Because the CRM service account is mapped with the newly created user, the CRM service account cannot operate anything. Therefore, the system crashes.

This behavior is by design. Making the account that is running the CRMAppPool into a Microsoft Dynamics CRM user is not supported.

In order to solve this you should follow the steps below:
  1. Disable Organization using deployment manager
  2. Once disabled, deleted the organization from the deployment Manager
  3. Re import the organization, while re importing inside the user mapping step remove the service account user (CRMAppPool) mapping and keep all the other user mapping as it is
  4. Once done re importing organization, everything should work correctly

How to use the "Update only entities with Status = Active" toggle?

In case you enable the toggle Update only entities with Status = Active from your Microsoft Dynamics CRM integration, only the entities that have their Status set as Active will get updated.

This means that if you sync an entity that already exists in your Microsoft Dynamics CRM account, but its Status is set to Inactive a new entity will be created.

Notice that this toggle works only when the integration is used as Destination.
