Assigning Users and Roles to a Dynamics 365 App

1 Comment

Let’s look at how to assign users to a Dynamics 365 app so they have access to the app.

First, as an Administrator, let’s create a new app. Log into your environment and go to https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com/apps. Click on Create New App:

Enter a name and click Done:

Click into the Site Map:

Provide a name for the Group, and select any Subarea, then Save and Publish:

Refresh the page and you will see the new app:

Clicking on the link, we can go into the app:

Now let’s give access to this app to other users.

To manage roles for this app, select the App on the previous page and click on the dots, then Manage Roles:

  1. Hi Carl,

    Thanks very much for your blog post here. I am having difficulty in sharing the app I created with other users.
    I have followed your screenshots above and have everything in place but for some reason, the new app will not appear for other users.

    Any additional suggestions would be very much appreciated.
