Efficient way to check Logged In user's security role

As a CRM developer, we all have developed functionality to check logged-in user's security roles. We used to get GUID of security role and then we have to fire a query to the server-side to get the role names. Thankfully Microsoft has slipped in an update to get the role names. Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings has been updated with a new function called roles, which returns a collection of lookup objects containing the GUID and display name of each of the security roles assigned to the user and any security roles assigned to the team that the user is associated with.

Let's take look at this with a scenario:
I have to perform some functionality if the current user has Sales Manager or Marketing Manager role assigned to him.


And here is the result:

currentUserRoles object contains all the roles assigned to the logged In user and isValidUserRoles contains the result after filtering the currentUserRoles object with required roles.

Create a System Dashboard from a Personalized Dashboard

Image
In this blog, we are going to see how you can create a system dashboard from a personalized one. Requirement: One of my clients created a personalized dashboard and wanted it to be available to all users. We need a system dashboard for that. There is no out-of-the-box (OOB) feature that allows you to convert or copy the personalized dashboard to a system dashboard. One way to achieve this is through a manual process where I have to review each component from the personalized dashboard and then replicate the same in the custom dashboard. This process takes some time, as we also need to check all the properties of each component in the dashboard before copying. I wanted to implement this in a better and quicker way. Let's see how I achieved it. This is the personalized dashboard created by the client. First of all, assign this dashboard to yourself ( the Admin user ). Create a new empty system dashboard inside your solution. Don't add any components; just create and save it.  Exp...

Open Windows Email App with To, CC and BCC information from Dynamics

Image
In this blog, we are going see how we can open a windows email app with information from Dynamics CRM. Problem Statement :  As we all know, when we click that little icon on Email field, it open our windows mail app. One of our client, wanted to have that feature with CC and BCC information as well. And this is not supported by OOB feature. To achieve this particular functionality, I have overridden the OOB functionality. Let's see, step by step, how I did it. First of all, find "data-id" for your email field. It is unique for each control. You can find it by Inspect on Email icon of your field. Create a HTML web resource which overrides the Email icon click functionality.  Click here to download the complete code file.  Add this as a component on CRM form. Just make sure, you have this component added in somewhere at the top section of the form as web resource needed to be loaded and also set height as only 1 row so that it would not eat more space. To call the fun...
