web role mapping for Contact and Account combination

Posted on by shubhambhangale

Hello,

We have a requirement that a contact can have different web roles based on different accounts. So for example, contact C1 can have role R1 for account A1, and role R2 for account A2.

I tried this, but Power Pages assigns both R1 and R2 roles to the contact, irrespective of the account.

Also, we want that all the users of a particular account might have different roles. So this means we can't apply roles at account level.

Is there a way to achieve this? I can see we can map roles at contact level. But I could not find a page or solution where I can map roles based on contact and account lookup combination.

If this is not possible, how can we achieve this by creating custom mapping table? Your help is greatly appreciated 😊.

Thank you.

Hi @OliverRodrigues,

Thanks for responding.

The practical scenario: We have some contacts that could work for multiple accounts for example Microsoft, Google, etc. Now, we want those contacts to have Admin role for Microsoft, but Reader role for Google.

Not only this, we also want that: Admin role will have some set of rights (such as delete other contacts) for Microsoft, but Admin for Microsoft should not be able to delete any contact.

Basically, contact C1 can have role R1 for account A1, and role R2 for account A2.
And, role R1 will have page access depending on accounts.

Hope it makes sense?

You could try:

For Admin, create many-to-many: Contact:Account

For Reader, create many-to-many: Contact:Account

Create 2 table permissions one for each many-to-many with scope = Contact

For child records they need to access then create 2 sets of Child Permissions (scope=parent), i.e. one set for each many-to-many created, with the parent permission set to the respective permission in (3)

2 Web Roles, one for each set of permissions

Then add the respective Contact to the respective many to many (subgrid) on each respective Account
