I am using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and I am attempting to change the Owner of an Opportunity. I have System Administrator privileges, but I still get this error message:
<Message>Principal user ... is missing prvReadps_application privilege (Id=75b45303-d5b2-494f-9300-04ffa37d2fee)</Message>
The prvReadps_application privilege is missing from the Dynamics documentation so I'm having a hard time tracking down what privilege is missing from my role. How can I use the privilege name or Id to add the privilege to my role?
It is not you that are missing the privilege - it's the user whom you are trying to give ownership of the Opportunity to. Let's say you have an account owned by User A. If you want to assign this account to user B, user B MUST have at least User-level Read privilege for the account entity. That is how Dynamics CRM/365 works. The user that you are trying to assign the Opportunity to is probably missing proper the security role.
As other pointed out, ps_application is a custom entity - You should go to your System Customizations area and check its display name (I bet it's something like Application). Now you should check what the security roles of the user are to whom you are trying to change ownership to - you should grant this role Read privilege for this entity (it will be on the last tab of Security Role configuration page).
So, why are you getting this error when assigning Opportunity? I bet that this ps_application entity is related to the Opportunity and the relationship is configured to propagate owner, so by changing owner on Opportunity, you are changing owner of related ps_applications -> and thus you are getting the error, as the user cannot be the owner for such records (does not have read privilege).
ps_application is your custom entity. That's why its missing in MS documentation.
prvReadps_application - says Read privilege missing, so look for Custom entity tab in Security role.
But System Administrator is a dynamic role, the privilege should be added when a new custom entity is added to the system. Make sure you didn't remove any privileges explicitly.
Also Verify the Security roles of the owner you are trying to assign, for Read privilege of this custom entity.
Arun V.'s answer made me realize that I missed the part about you being a System Administrator. Thanks Arun V., and my apologies.
Now I would say that you'll want to focus on the privs of the user to whom are you assigning the record. Their lack of permissions is likely what is preventing the assignment.
As Arun V. pointed out, ps_application could be a custom entity.

I wanted to know on which entities does an user have by default a read access initially when no security role is assigned to the user?
I wanted to know because any user who do not have any security role can still access case & accounts entity through advanced find! Is this expected behavior? If yes then is this documented any where?
All users must be assigned to at least one security role in order to have access to Dynamics 365. The security roles can be assigned to the user directly or to the access team he belongs to.
Can you double-check the security roles assigned to the user and verify team's security roles ?
The user has to have a security role assigned to get into CRM. Check existing teams to see if the user is a member of and also he/she will have access to the records shared to him/her. Which entities user can access to are based on the roles/team he/she has been assigned. Check role/team setting for details.
We have used the case Entity, there is default user that is used to assign a case on new creation or reactivation.
We have a workflow created for Case Reactivation, so whenever a case is reopen it is assigned to the default system user. It was working fine till September 20, but now when you give the survey after case resolution and then try to reactivate it it throws error in workflow. It works fine when you try to reactivate without giving the survey.
Error:
The real-time workflow named "Case is Resolved/Reopened" failed with the error "Principal user (Id, type=8, roleCount=1, privilegeCount=619, accessMode=0), is missing prvReadmsfp_questionresponse privilege (Id) on OTC=10247 for entity 'msfp_questionresponse'.
The System user has the role assigned as of salesperson, giving permission for this entity to salesperson does solve the issue, but the salesperson role is being used by many others to whom permission for this entity can't be given.
Can anyone tell us why this started causing issue after a particular time. Was there any updates from Microsoft Forms Pro for this entity?
Its very possible there have been updates from MS. You can review the solution history in make.powerplatorm.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/solution-history
Look for the forms pro solution and check the solution history.
Is the "Default" user an actual person that logs in? Or a Service account that is only used for automation/workflows?
In any case, I'd suggest creating an add-on or feature role called something like "Question Response Reader" that only has the read permission for that entity. You can then add that role to the default user, and any other users that need to read that entity.
Probably Microsoft changed something in the background especially w.r.t security of forms Response entity msfp_questionresponse.
You easily solution is to give proper security rights to user who is ruining your workflow.
If it is run by the owner of the workflow then that user, if workflow runs under the context of user then that user should have read rights for entity msfp_questionresponse
In Dynamics-365 crm, I want to grant read-write access request to an user of D-365 to a specific record of an entity if the user is not privileged with that privileges.
I did that by assigning some sort of security roles to that user. But I can't do that by modifying security role.
So how can I do that without assigning security role?
You can achieve the same share functionality in code using GrantAccessRequest, refer my another Stack Overflow answer for C# plugin example.
For web api, your org has to be greater than v9.0 as GrantAccess message was not available in web api till v8.2
Still to achieve this object based security model, you should give users privilege to read-write that entity records through role based security model. Without user having entity edit privilege in security role they cannot edit by getting record sharing.

If you do not wish to change/update your security Roles, then you can do so by sharing a particular Record with Either Team or User.Below 2 images will help you explain how to share a Record.
Now this process below is manual and you could achieve this process programmatically as well using C# i.e server side coding

CRM 2015: I want to be able to create a role for local IT to be able to add user accounts and assign roles.
Regarding the 'adding roles' portion, is it simple enough just to create a role for local IT to 'write' to 'security' roles in the'business management' tab of 'security roles' at the user level?
No, this is not that simple. User cannot give another user privilege higher than he has (it would be a serious security hole). So for example you have role to edit Security roles and you have Read access for Accounts in your Business Units. If somebody in your Business unit has no Read access and only User access, you can add him Read access for Business Unit (the same you have), but you will not be able to give him Organizational access (so higher than yours). You could imagine that if this would be possible, you will be able to basically give yourself Admin privilege and do whatever you want in CRM.
Knowing that, it should be possible for you to create a role that for example have full access to Accounts, Contacts, Custom entities etc. and Security Roles. This role would be able to modify other users access levels to Accounts, Contacts etc. but no other entities that they don't have privilege to.
Exactly the same logic applies to assigning the Security Roles. So user A cannot assign a Security Role to user B, if it gives user B privileges higher than has User A.
In the end, it is very hard to properly implement the scenario that you described, because there are so many privileges and user needs to have a lot of them to even use the CRM. I've tried this once but could not satisfy the business requirement - it always ended up with using System Admin role, because there was always some scenario that could have not been handled by a user only with this "specific" security modification role.
Assigning 'System Administrator' security role and changing Access Mode in user record to 'Administrative' helped me to achieve this. User still cannot access any transaction data. So, I think you can go for this approach.
We are trying to create a web application that can create Service Activity entities in CRM Online. The web application stalls out with the error "Principal team (Id=fee1cfb8-9e6e-e511-80e7-3863bb36ebd8, type=9) is missing prvReadActivity privilege (Id=650c14fe-3521-45fe-a000-84138688e45d)."
I have located the Security Roles area of CRM Online but I am unable to determine WHICH of the roles corresponds to prvReadActivity, and for which entity.
Does anyone know how to apply prvReadActivity privilege to a team?
Thank you everyone!
prvReadActivity is a privileges for read of the activity entities. Check out Security role UI to privilege mapping for a mapping.
A single security role can contain many privileges. If you open a security role on the core tab, at the top there should be a row for activity. So give your team a security role which contains access to the activity entity, try testing with system administrator to be sure as that has access to everything.
