Query Dynamics 365 CE data with filter using n:n relationship

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by moko33 35

In Dynamics 365 CE there is a possibility in Advanced Find to query for records that have (or don't have) related records in a n:n relationship.

 

For example: I can show all User records that have Security Roles associated to it.

 

Now I want to create a Flow that updates all of the found User records.

 

How can this be archived?

 

Does Flow provide the possibility to use a similar filter?

    Hi @mgr,

     

    Could you please explain more details about the n:n relationship that you mentioned?

    Or could you please share a details example about your requirements?

     

    Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    I wanted to find out which of the Users within CRM (MsDyn365CE) do have at least one Security Role assigned.

     

    Technically spoken the relationship between a System User and a Security Role ist set up by a hidden intersect entity called "Systemuserroles": 

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/entities/systemuserroles

     

    I found out now that you are able to query it with Flow by using the EntitySetName "systemuserrolescollection".


    So this is wonderful! I created a Flow now which sets a flag on the User record as soon as he has a Security Role associated. I think I even could post all of the Security Role Names into a comma separated string into a  field of the User record.
