Set up web service user
Application task

Set up the external users that are allowed to access the inbound web service to start an inbound web service action.
For each external web service user, define:
  • The allowed inbound web service actions.
  • The companies in which the web service action is allowed to run.
If the inbound web service application (IIS application or Azure Logic Apps) receives an HTTP request from an external application, it calls a D365 FO method to check:
  • If the external user, as defined in the HTTP request, is defined as web service user.
  • If it is allowed to start the web service action for the web service user.
  • If it is allowed to run the web service action for the web service user in the company, as defined in the HTTP request.
