From 31 January 2021 there will be important changes to Team Member licences.
Dynamics 365 (CRM) users with Team Member licences purchased after October 2018 will experience changes to this licence type from 31 January 2021. Limited or Team Member licences grant access to a specific/limited set of functionalities. The changes that will be introduced from January will allow these users:
- Create, read, update and delete contacts, activities and notes.
- Update the personal information of employees.
- Record time and expenses of project operations and request projects.
- Participate as an end consumer of Dynamics 365 services. For example, answering surveys.
In addition, it allows the customisation of up to 15 additional entities (custom or standard Common Data Service) to be done according to the scenarios detailed below (Team Member access rights). There is no limit on read rights for Dynamics 365 custom entities and they will have full CRUD on data records associated with custom entities.
Access rights Team Member
With these changes to Team Member licences, the user experience will be delivered through a set of designated applications. In this respect, several scenarioswill be distinguished:
- Customer Service Team Member
- Sales Team Member
- Project Resource Centre
For example, a user with a full Customer Engagemet licence will be able to see the Customer Service Centre application and the Customer Service Team Member application. A user with only the Customer Engagemet Team Member licence will only see this application and will not have access to the other applications to which he is not entitled (Sales Centre or Project Resource Centre).
