Importing CRM 2011 Plugins – Permission

  • Article

In CRM 2011, you may include Plugin assemblies and steps in a solution.  Then you can export the solution from one environment and import into other environments.  If you run into a problem telling you that the import of the plugins failed, you might want to look into your permissions. 

I ran into the problem last week, I thought I don’t need the Deployment Manager permission in this version, so I was wrong.  In order to import the plugins, you need to have “CRM System Administrator” and “Deployment Manager” permission. 

I hope this helps you if you run into the same problem.
