What can this person touch?

Contoso Marketing Connector

Every offboarding ticket and every access review comes down to this question. In Dynamics, the answer is spread out, and none of the screens adds it up.

Each screen shows a single path.

Illustration · the documents and chats an access review by hand relies on

Roles on the user record, roles on every team they're in, the hierarchy they sit in. None of them adds it up, so a review sees "Roles: 0" and decides everything's fine.

Pathix starts from the person.

The marketing connector from Ep. 02 has no direct roles, but through the sales team it can create, read and write accounts, and the row names the team it came through. In the position hierarchy it sits one level above the ERP sync, so it inherits the sync's read and write on accounts. That's two paths to accounts, and neither one is on the connector's own record.

Remove the member, not the team's role.

Disabled status staged · roles, teams and grants are from the scan

Dave Morgan is disabled, and his record still lists two roles, one of them the credit writer from Ep. 02. He's also on the sales team, which holds the same role, so removing his direct role leaves it in place through the team: that's why Pathix keeps two lists. It's reach, not activity: Pathix never reads sign-ins, or which records anyone opened.

Pathix MCP

Or, ask your agent.

One Pathix call returns what this principal can reach, and the path to each: direct, through a team, or the hierarchy. With the Dataverse MCP alone, your agent assembles that from roles, teams and positions.

Ep. 09 · Next questionIs this secured column actually protected?In Dynamics, column security shows you the lock: the profile, what it allows, who holds it. It doesn't show where the value goes next, and a flow, a workflow, a column mapping or a calculated column can copy it somewhere the lock doesn't reach.Next question →
