The requested operation is invalid. The server has rejected the client credentials.

I have a Powerapp which links to two Common Data Service (Dataverse) tables (Items and Item Categories) which are virtual entities which come from Business Central.

 

The virtual entities were configured as per this link... 

https://community.dynamics.com/business/b/andreysnavblog/posts/expose-business-central-api-as-cds-virtual-entity-without-code

 

The app works perfectly fine for myself but when I share this with others and they open the app they get this error...

 

"The requested operation is invalid. Server Response: Item Categories failed: The server has rejected the client credentials."

The user has the required CRUD permissions to the custom entities.

 

Any ideas what could be causing this issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Daveed73,

    Where you able to resolve this? Check that the users have not only the security role(s) assigned with privileges to the virtual entities, but read access to "Virtual Entity Data Source"? Also, if you've created a custom role, ensure it got created from "Common Data Service User" role (or at least has the same privileges). It contains the minimal privileges to run the system functionalities.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, yes all sorted. The issue related to the virtual tables in CDS from Business Central and the need to have a Business Central license to read these. Due to us not wanting to give everyone a BC license I have scrapped the idea for using the virtual tables.
