Message Availability

This message works regardless whether the caller is connected to the server or offline.

Not all entity types support this message offline. See Supported Entities later in this topic.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the entity that is specified in the entityName parameter. For a list of the required privileges, see RetrieveMultiple message privileges. This method only returns the records for which the calling user has access rights.

Notes for Callers

The collection of returned records contains the values for the properties that are specified in the ColumnSet parameter for which the calling user has access rights. Any other property values are not returned.

Pass null for the columnSet parameter to retrieve only the primary key. If the columnSet includes attributes that are not valid for retrieval, they are ignored. This is where IsValidForRead is false. You can find this information in the metadata for your organization. See the preceding metadata browser information.

You can use this method to retrieve records of an entity that supports the RetrieveMultiple message, including records from custom entities.

For more information about the exceptions that can be thrown when this method is called, see Handle exceptions in your code.
