Activate or Deactivate record in CRM 2011
Hi,
We can Activate\Deactivate record using “SetStateRequest“. Below is the code snippet.
private void SetEntityStatus(IOrganizationService service, Guid recordGUID, string entityName) {
SetStateRequest setState = newSetStateRequest();
setState.EntityMoniker = newEntityReference();
//Pass GUID of the record to be activated or Deactivated
setState.EntityMoniker.Id = recordGUID;
setState.EntityMoniker.Name = entityName;
setState.EntityMoniker.LogicalName = entityName;
//Setting ‘State’ i.e., (0 – Active ; 1 – InActive)
setState.State = new OptionSetValue();
setState.State.Value = 0/1;
//Setting ‘Status’ i.e., (1 – Active ; 2 – InActive)
setState.Status = new OptionSetValue();
setState.Status.Value = 1/2;
SetStateResponse setStateResponse = (SetStateResponse)service.Execute(setState);
}
Hope it helps 🙂

What permissions to you need to activate / deactivate a lead, I want to stop someone activating someone else (owner)’s records
Hi,
I dont think there is a privilege for setting the state of a record, if you have the update privilege then you will be able to activate/deactivate.
You can use approach mentioned in the below article to restrict the activation/deactivation from Form using jscript.

What stops you from writing this?
service.Execute(new SetStateRequest()
{
EntityMoniker = new EntityReference(entityName, recordGUID),
State = new OptionSetValue(1), //Setting ‘State’ i.e., (0 – Active ; 1 – InActive)
Status = new OptionSetValue(2) //Setting ‘Status’ i.e., (1 – Active ; 2 – InActive)
});
That’s another way of instantiating of ‘SetStateRequest’ object. But to elaborate each step I had to write the code as mentioned in article
