Access Teams in Dynamics 365 CRM are useful when a Sales Manager/Team Lead needs to give permission to individual records in the system.

Sales Associates can be given access on the fly to individual records in CRM.

Below is an example shown for adding Access Teams to ‘Account’ entity.

Users can be given access to a specific record by simply clicking on “+” on highlighted sub grid.

3. Now add a new subgrid to Account Form with following parameters. In my example I have created an Access Team Template called ‘Account Team’ . As you can see, I have selected that specific template in the subgrid. To insert a new subgrid you will have to click on ‘FORM’ button from Account Summary Page. Then click on INSERT tab-> SubGrid. Please do not forget to Save and Publish this modification and then you are done.
