Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises). Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:

SampleCode\CS\BusinessDataModel\UsersAndRoles\DisableOREnableUser.cs

Requirements

For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.

Demonstrates

This sample shows how to create a user in an Active Directory environment using the SetStateRequest message. A snippet showing just the key sections of the sample is shown first, followed by the Complete Sample Code. Note that this sample can only be run in an on-premises environment because it creates a user. However, the portion of the sample that demonstrates disabling the user will work for all environments.

Example


// Connect to the Organization service. 
// The using statement assures that the service proxy is properly disposed.
using (_serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serverConfig.OrganizationUri, serverConfig.HomeRealmUri,serverConfig.Credentials, serverConfig.DeviceCredentials))
{
    _serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();

    CreateRequiredRecords();                    

    // Retrieve a user.
    SystemUser user = _serviceProxy.Retrieve(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName,
        _userId, new ColumnSet(new String [] {"systemuserid", "firstname", "lastname"})).ToEntity<SystemUser>();

    if (user != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{1} {0} user account is retrieved.", user.LastName, user.FirstName);
        SetStateRequest request = new SetStateRequest() { 
            EntityMoniker = user.ToEntityReference(),
            // Sets the user to disabled.
            State = new OptionSetValue(1),
            // Required by request but always valued at -1 in this context.
            Status = new OptionSetValue(-1)
            /*
            //Sets the user to enabled.
            State = new OptionSetValue(0),
            // Required by request but always valued at -1 in this context.
            Status = new OptionSetValue(-1)    
            */
        };

        _serviceProxy.Execute(request);

        Console.WriteLine("User account is disabled.");
    }
    DeleteRequiredRecords(promptforDelete);
}
