Trying to share dataverse record using power automate

Posted on by SG-21040647-0

Hello,

I would like to share dynamics 365 crm work order record with a specific team. For that I have created a power automate flow and there I used unbound action to grant access.

And I used the below json to share the record-

{
"Principal": {
"teamid": "97c77852-bfd0-ee11-9078-6045bd143da8",
"@@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.team"
},
"AccessMask": "ReadAccess"
}

Once I tried to run the flow I am getting below error:

URL was not parsed due to an ODataUnrecognizedPathException. Resource not found for the segment '{ "Principal": { "teamid": "21e69e02-fd95-eb11-b1ac-000d3a6c4f7d", "@@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.team" }, "AccessMask": "ReadAccess" }' provided in the URL.

Please let me know if I am doing any mistake or missing any syntax.

Thanks,

Hi @SG-21040647-0,

Two issues in your current JSON.

First, you are missing the Target property. GrantAccess requires three parameters: Target (the record you are sharing), PrincipalAccess (wrapping both Principal and AccessMask together). Your JSON has Principal and AccessMask at the top level which is wrong.

Second, the Principal and AccessMask must be nested inside a PrincipalAccess object, not directly in the body.

The correct body format confirmed from Microsoft docs:

{
"Target": {
"msdyn_workorderid": "YOUR-WORK-ORDER-GUID",
"@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.msdyn_workorder"
},
"PrincipalAccess": {
"Principal": {
"teamid": "97c77852-bfd0-ee11-9078-6045bd143da8",
"@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.team"
},
"AccessMask": "ReadAccess"
}
}

In Power Automate with the Perform an unbound action step:
- Action Name: GrantAccess
- Then fill each parameter separately: Target, PrincipalAccess as individual fields, not as one raw JSON block

If you are using the HTTP action directly against the Dataverse Web API instead, POST to:
[OrgUrl]/api/data/v9.2/GrantAccess

with the body above.

Also note: use @odata.type not @@odata.type. Double @@ is incorrect.
