Adding a new user to CRM 4.0 using sdk - dynamics-crm

Question

Does anyone have sample code to add a new user to CRM 4.0 using sdk?

Answer 1

I have code that creates users for us based on users in another system so I can't exactly paste it all here - most of it wouldn't make sense to you - but this is the core of it:
[In VB sorry :-) - also when posting VB here I find I need to use '//' to indicate a comment to make the formatting correct]
Public Sub CreateNewUser()
Dim s as mscrm.CrmService = GetMyService()
Dim newUser as New mscrm.systemuser()
With newUser
.domainname = "domain\user"
.firstname = "Stan"
.lastname = "Molda"
//set anything else you want here
End With
Dim userGuid as guid = s.Create(newUser)
//Next we need to assign the user a role
AssignRole(userGuid)
//Finally we need to assign them to the correct Time Zone
SetUserTimeZone(userGuid)
End Sub
Public Sub AssignRole(g as Guid)
Dim s as mscrm.CrmService = GetMyService()
Dim req As New mscrm.AssignUserRolesRoleRequest()
req.UserId = g
req.RoleIds = New Guid() {GetTheGuidForMyPrimaryRole()}
s.Execute(req)
End Sub
Public Sub SetUserTimeZone(g as Guid)
Dim s as mscrm.CrmService = GetMyService()
Dim r As New mscrm4.RetrieveUserSettingsSystemUserRequest()
r.ColumnSet = New mscrm3.AllColumns()
r.EntityId = New Guid(g)
Dim resp As mscrm.RetrieveUserSettingsSystemUserResponse = CType(s.Execute(r), mscrm.RetrieveUserSettingsSystemUserResponse)
Dim settings As mscrm.usersettings = CType(resp.BusinessEntity, mscrm.usersettings)
settings.timezonecode = New mscrm.CrmNumber
settings.timezonecode.Value = OUR_TIME_ZONE_CONSTANT
Dim update As New mscrm.UpdateUserSettingsSystemUserRequest()
update.Settings = settings
update.UserId = g
s.Execute(update)
End Sub

For C#, take a look at my question, Dynamics CRM: Create users with specific GUIDs, which does exactly what you want (but not exactly what I want :-P).
