Control the ownership of records inserted by powerquery

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 52

I'm trying to insert some data into a table that has row level security using business units.

 

My PowerQuery insert to the table sets the ownership of records to that of the service account (which is in the root business unit).

 

I have the BU from the source data and would like the records ownership to be set to be the BU that owns that record.

 

Is there a way in Power Query to set the OwningBusinessUnit field to the correct value for each record?

    @Robert_vbc Are you not able to set the value of the 'OwningBusinessUnit' column?

     

    Have you enabled the feature to allow ownership across Business Units? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/wp-security-cds#enable-the-matrix-data-access-structure

     

    Is the target table set to allow User/Team level ownership?

    Thanks,  for some reason I had it in my head that I could not set the OwningBusinessUnit field, which is crazy b/c I've done it before. P.S. everything is already setup for ownership by business units.

    Once again thanks.
