What security role need to be enabled for users to be able to delete imports

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

What security roles do I need in order to allow users to delete an import they have made from the "My Imports" page (I have attached this as a URL page in my app)?

 

In the security role, under "Core Records", I have allowed everything (read, write, delete etc.) for "Data Import", "Data Map", "Import Source File"  and the "Bulk Delete" under Miscellaneous Privileges. 

 

In the Custom Entities, I have also allowed read, write, delete etc. permissions for the table I want the user to be able to delete imports from.

 

I assigned the security role to the test user, and everything works fine, except that the user is not able to delete the imports he / she has made, which I would like the user to be able to do.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Data imports are stored in a number of tables which you can try granting delete access for:

    • Data Import
    • Import Data
    • Import Entity Mapping
    • Import Job
    • Import Log
    • Import Source File

    Thank you. I seem to have got it working now, don't know if it was a cache issue with the browser, since it seems to have started working now without me changing anything..

     

    But I have another issue, on the my imports page when the user selects the "All Imports" instead of the "My Imports" from the drop down menu, the user can now see all imported records also from other users. (Created by is another users). It's strange, since I think I have checked the above mentioned security roles (Data Import, Data Map etc.) to be "User" and not "Organization", but the user can still see all the imported records from any user as if he / she would have "Organization" privileges?

    Sorry, my bad. I had also another security role assigned to this user, which must have had the privileges to allow seeing organization level data. Once this second security role was removed from the user this view works as expected.
