Maschinenringe Dynamics 365 SharePoint Integration Case Study

Dynamics 365 Case Study

Maschinenringe, a major German agricultural services association, uncovered a security vulnerability when a new intranet app threatened exposure of sensitive documents stored in SharePoint. These documents were supposed to remain protected through Dynamics 365 access controls, but the combination of the SharePoint integration with the new app was about to cause trouble.

By deploying CB Dynamics 365 to SharePoint Permissions Replicator, they automated permission alignment—effectively safeguarding data, eliminating manual intervention, and avoiding support headaches.

"[CB Dynamics 365 to SharePoint Permissions Replicator] is a silent worker in the background who does its job and nothing else. It doesn't suddenly pop up or cause problems. It does what it should do!"

– Leander Kirner, Team Lead CRM & Reporting at Maschinenringe

Key Takeaways

  • Don’t rely on the default Dynamics 365 SharePoint integration to copy permissions along with the documents (from Dynamics to SharePoint)

  • Anticipate ripple effects when adding new tools

  • Automate security before it becomes critical
