SecRole.RetrieveAllRoles Method
The RetrieveAllRoles method retrieves all roles for the specified business unit.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function RetrieveAllRoles(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal BusinessId As String,
ByVal ColumnSetXML As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveAllRoles(
CUserAuth Caller,
string BusinessId,
string ColumnSetXML
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveAllRoles(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* BusinessId,
String* ColumnSetXML
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. The caller must have the prvReadRole privilege to perform this action. See CUserAuth.
BusinessId
Specifies the ID of the business unit for which the roles are being retrieved. This ID is specified by the platform and is obtained at business unit creation time or by a bulk retrieve.
ColumnSetXML
Specifies an XML string used to define the columns that are to be returned. Passing "" or null returns all columns. You can find the valid column names in role.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data describing the roles that are returned. Only roles to which the caller has READ access are returned. The XML schema is described by role.xsd.
Remarks
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
Example
[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";
// strVirtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string strVirtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
// Create the URL to the SRF files for platform objects
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + strVirtualDirectory + "/";
// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser user = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser ();
user.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
user.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// SecRole proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.SecRole secRole = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.SecRole ();
secRole.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
secRole.Url = strDir + "SecRole.srf";
// Declare the caller
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = null;
string strErrorMsg "";
try
{
// Get the UserAuth of the current logged-on user
userAuth = user.WhoAmI();
// Specify the columns that you want to retrieve
string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>name</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>roleid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>organizationid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>businessunitid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";
// Retrieve all roles for the caller's business unit
string strRolesXml = secRole.RetrieveAllRoles(userAuth, userAuth.MerchantId, strColumnSetXml);
}
catch(System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
// Process the platform error here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch(Exception err)
{
// Process other errors here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + "Source: " + err.Source );
