uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share how to enable email validation on Dynamics 365 Sales for leads and contacts.

Let’s get’s started.

What are the benefits of Email validations(preview)

1. This will alert sellers when a lead or contact have same email address that are known or suspected to be invalid.

2. Only primary email address will be checked.

So Primary email address will be marked as not valid in the following instances:

1. Incorrect or incomplete email addresses. for example: mail@test
2. Test or spam email addresses. for example: test1@test.com
3. Temporary or disposable domains. for example: althrough@throwaway.com
4. Email addresses from expired or nonexistent domains.

Turn on for LEAD and CONTACT.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

{Resolved} The report can’t be viewed because the underlying dataset uses row-level security(RLS) in Dynamics 365 Power BI Report

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show how to resolve the report can’t be viewed because the underlying dataset uses row-level security(RLS).

Let’s get’s started.

When an end user try to see the report published using Power BI and dataset used in the report have security roles associated with it, then the user who is accessing the Power BI report on Dynamics 365 Model Driven App then this type of error message will appear.

How to resolve it?

Need to check the report existing Dataset Security settings and Role-Level Security was empty for the report, so compared it with an existing report and added the related CRM Users “User Group” to the Report.

Add the Row-Level Security group to the report (see above screenshot).

Reason for the error message in my case is due to :

From app the dashboards reference are located in the Solution i was working on, for some reasons the default report value was empty, so it was not pointing to a report and causes the “Failed to get report Error message”

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.
