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 🙂

  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
