Message Availability

 This message works regardless whether the caller is connected to the server or offline.

Not all entity types support this message offline. See Supported Entities later in this topic.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the entity that is specified in the entityName parameter and access rights on the record that is specified in the id parameter. For a list of the required privileges, see Retrieve message privileges.

Notes for Callers

The returned record contains values for the specified properties in the columnSet parameter for which the calling user has access rights. Any other property values are not returned. For more information, see The security model of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013.

Pass null for the columnSet parameter to retrieve only the primary key. If the columnSet includes attributes where IsValidForRead is false, they are ignored. You can find this information in the metadata for your organization. See the preceding metadata browser information.

To retrieve a record and its related records in a single transaction, use the RetrieveRequest class.

You can use this method to retrieve any record of an entity that supports the Retrieve message, including custom entities.

For more information about the exceptions that can be thrown when this method is called, see Handle exceptions in your code.
