Sample: Share a record using an access team

This sample shows how to allow access to a record using an access team. All the members of the team will receive the same access to the record that is granted to the team. You can download the sample from here.

This sample requires additional users that are not in your system. Create the required users manually in Office 365 in order to run the sample without any errors. For this sample create a user profile as is shown below. Replace yourorg with the organization name.

How to run this sample

To obtain a local copy of all samples and build them, follow these steps:

1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the instance/organization you want to connect to.
3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you don't specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog opens each time you run the sample, and you'll need to enter information about which instance or org you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog caches previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.
