Does 'reassign records' option only affect one environment?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 62

Hello everyone!

 

I will leave my organization in a few months and want to prepare my departing. Therefore I discovered the neat feature 'reassign records' in the classic CRM interface. I already know that I will have to reactivate the processes currently owned by me after reassigning the records.

 

I am not quite sure whether this option only affects one environment at a time or all my records throughout all environments in our tenant. So my question is: Can I reassign records in our Dev environment to "test" this option before I do the same in our Prod environment?

 

And another question: Does the option 'reassign records' automatically change the owner of Environment variables as well and if not, how would I do this myself?

 

Thank you for your help!

 

Kind regards.

    "reassign records" only works in the environment where is launched, keep in mind that in case of an high amount of records (like tons of activities) the process is not immediate. I don't know regarding Environment variables (you may want to reassign them to another user before doing the "reassign records" action.

    @GuidoPreite Thank you for your help! I tried to reassign the records but I got an error. In many parts of the error log file it says "This operation couldn't be completed because you are not a system administrator." I am in fact a System Adminstrator in this environment. Does the term "System Administrator" in the log file relate to the System Admin of our Microsoft Tenant? Does our System Admin of our Tenant have to do this?

    Thanks a lot!

    it relates to the security role "System Administrator" in the specific Power Apps / Dynamics 365 instance you are working.
