Question details

The user needs to grant a specific user access to only one survey and its associated reporting within a Customer Voice project.

How to Restrict User Access to a Single Survey in Microsoft Customer Voice

Product: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Voice
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Managing user permissions to isolate access to a single survey's data and analytics instead of the entire project.
Observed behavior: Project ownership in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Voice currently provides default access to all surveys, analytics, and reports within the project.

Before you start

Ensure you have administrator privileges in your Dynamics 365 environment, as modifying role-based access control and underlying Dataverse permissions requires admin rights.

Solution 1Recommended

Review Security Roles and Consult Dynamics 365 Specialists

Because standard project ownership grants access to all surveys, you must review underlying security roles or seek advanced configuration guidance from the dedicated Dynamics 365 Community.

Microsoft Customer Voice operates on top of Dataverse. By default, adding a user as a project owner gives them blanket access to all surveys within that project. To achieve granular, survey-level access, custom security roles and specialized configuration in the Power Platform admin center are often required.

Evaluate current environment permissions

Log in to your Dynamics 365 or Power Platform Admin Center and review the current security roles assigned to the user you wish to restrict.

Check Dataverse sharing settings

Investigate if you can share specific Customer Voice survey records directly from the underlying Dataverse tables instead of adding the user to the entire project.

Navigate to the Dynamics 365 Community

Since Microsoft Community has limited resources for this specific product, visit the dedicated Dynamics 365 Community forums (community.dynamics.com).

Post your custom requirement

Create a new discussion thread detailing your need to restrict access to a single survey and its reports. Dynamics 365 specialists can provide custom scripts or precise Dataverse role configurations for your specific environment.

Review Security Roles and Consult Dynamics 365 Specialists

Community Support Recommendation: The Dynamics 365 Community is heavily monitored by product engineers and specialists who can assess your specific environment's configuration better than standard support channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I isolate reporting access to just one survey natively in Customer Voice?

Natively, adding a user to a project grants them access to all surveys and reports within that project. Isolating access typically requires creating separate projects for different surveys or using advanced Dataverse security roles.

Why does a project owner see all surveys?

In Dynamics 365 Customer Voice, the 'Project' acts as the primary security container. Anyone granted ownership or management rights at the project level automatically inherits access to all child records, which includes all surveys and analytics inside it.

Where should I ask advanced Dynamics 365 permissions questions?

Advanced configuration questions should be posted in the Dynamics 365 Community forums, as the standard Microsoft Community has limited resources for in-depth Dynamics 365 and Dataverse troubleshooting.
