Associate Role to a User Microsoft Dynamics CRM (Rest API)

Question

I have use case where I need to create a role, create a user in crm instance and associate role to user.

I have explored api to create user and create role.

Below is the code :

private void createUser(IntegrationUserDTO integrationUserDTO, STSDto stsDetails, CRMAuthContext crmAuthContext)
            throws IntegrationsException {
        Map<String, Object> requestBody = new HashMap<>();
        URI uri = new MSCRMHttpDelegate().odataUriBuilder(crmAuthContext.getCrmApiUrl())
                .appendEntitySetSegment("systemusers").build();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(uri.toString());
        httpPost.setHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + crmAuthContext.getAccessToken());
        httpPost.setHeader("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        httpPost.setHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
        httpPost.setHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
        httpPost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

        requestBody.put("accessmode", "4");
        requestBody.put("applicationid", UUID.fromString(stsDetails.getClientId()));
        requestBody.put("firstname", integrationUserDTO.getUsername());
        requestBody.put("lastname", integrationUserDTO.getSecretToken());
        requestBody.put("internalemailaddress", integrationUserDTO.getExtraParams());
        requestBody.put("isintegrationuser", true);
        MSCRMUser user = getBusinessUnitId(crmAuthContext);

        if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(user.getBusinessUnitId())) {
            requestBody.put("businessunitid@odata.bind",
                    "/businessunits(" + UUID.fromString(user.getBusinessUnitId()) + ")");
        }

        if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(user.getOrganizationId())) {
            requestBody.put("organizationid", UUID.fromString(user.getOrganizationId()));
        }

        try {
            httpPost.setEntity(new StringEntity(
                    new GsonBuilder().excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation().create().toJson(requestBody)));

            try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost)) {
                if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() >= 400) {
                    log.info("error in adding privileges to role at microsoft instance =");
                    throw new IntegrationsException(IntegrationsErrorCode.CRM_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS);
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new IntegrationsException(IntegrationsErrorCode.INTERNAL_ERROR, e);
        }
    }

private void createRole(IntegrationUserDTO integrationUserDTO, STSDto stsDetails, CRMAuthContext crmAuthContext)
            throws IntegrationsException {
        Map<String, Object> requestBody = new HashMap<>();
        requestBody.put("name", ROLE_NAME);
        MSCRMUser user = getBusinessUnitId(crmAuthContext);
        if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(user.getBusinessUnitId())) {
            requestBody.put("businessunitid@odata.bind",
                    "/businessunits(" + UUID.fromString(user.getBusinessUnitId()) + ")");
        }
        if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(user.getOrganizationId())) {
            requestBody.put("organizationid", UUID.fromString(user.getOrganizationId()));
        }
        URI uri = new MSCRMHttpDelegate().odataUriBuilder(crmAuthContext.getCrmApiUrl()).appendEntitySetSegment("roles")
                .build();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(uri.toString());
        httpPost.setHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + crmAuthContext.getAccessToken());
        httpPost.setHeader("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        httpPost.setHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
        httpPost.setHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
        httpPost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

        try {
            httpPost.setEntity(new StringEntity(
                    new GsonBuilder().excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation().create().toJson(requestBody)));

            try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost)) {
                if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() >= 400) {
                    log.info("error in adding privileges to role at microsoft instance =");
                    throw new IntegrationsException(IntegrationsErrorCode.CRM_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS);
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new IntegrationsException(IntegrationsErrorCode.INTERNAL_ERROR, e);
        }
    }

I'm unable to find any Rest API to associate a user to a role. I have seen soap API's but I didn't see any rest APIs. I have explored in Dynamics CRM docs I have not seen anything related to role association to the entity. Do any one know any rest api to associate role to user?

You can use the Web API to send a request to associate the user with a given role.

The relationship between user and role is called systemuserroles_association. You should thus send a request of the following format:

POST [Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/systemusers(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)/systemuserroles_association/$ref HTTP/1.1   
Content-Type: application/json   
Accept: application/json   
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0   
OData-Version: 4.0  

{  
"@odata.id":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/roles(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)"  
}
