NAV 2013 Web Service User Card Create error

nboettcher

I am trying to use Web Services in NAV to access the User Card page. I have successfully set up the Web Service and have been able to call it from my application. I can read users, update users and delete users...however, when i try to use the .Create(ref newUser) method I get an error and can't figure out how to create a new user.

Here is the error:

User Name must have a value in User: User Security ID={6A9F7C77-13D6-43CA-A9F9-FDE1498584E7}. It cannot be zero or empty.

It doesn't matter what values I set in the User, including User_Name...I always get this message.

Any advice?

Hi,

nice work!
Can you explain more about your user creation?

Maybe this helps...
In NAV page users (9800) you can see that it will create a guid for every new user as User Security ID. This is the primary key ... see table User (2000000120)
You should do the same.
In C# you can use

Guid.NewGuid()

fill this guid with the User Security ID!
You can get the SID for your user with "DirectorySearcher" or NAV Assembly "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.NavUserAccount"

*Update*

Hi,

so now i have written my own C# Application to check your issue.
I have the same one.
Always if I want to create a new NAV User i get your error message.
But I have a solution!

When you look at Page 9800 "Users" -Trigger OnInsertRecord :

IF "User Name" = '' THEN
  ERROR(Text004,FIELDCAPTION("User Name"));

Change the code to:

IF GUIALLOWED THEN //Checks whether the C/AL code is allowed to show any information on the screen
  IF "User Name" = '' THEN
    ERROR(Text004,FIELDCAPTION("User Name"));

Works great for me.
This will not effect NAV Standard.

But my problem is... how validate the input data?
