Embedding within Channel Integration Framework

Install Channel Integration Framework from the Microsoft Appsource store.
Ensure non-admins have read access to the msdyn_ciprovider entity.
Open the Apps menu within the Dynamics instance, it can be opened by clicking on the drop down arrow in the top left corner of the screen.
Select Channel Integration Framework
Select +New.
Apply the following within in the Channel Provider Configuration
- Name: Tenfold Embedded UI
- Label: Embedded UI
- Channel URL: https://app.tenfold.com/dynamics.html?base=<your_dynamics_instance_URL> Example: https://app.tenfold.com/dynamics.html?base=https://mydynamics.dynamics.com
- Enable Outbound Communication: Yes
- Channel order: 0
- API Version: 1.0
- Trusted Domain: ""
- Custom Parameters: width=283 rich_context=true NOTE: The Dynamics instance URL can be sourced from the Tenfold CRM configuration page h ere. The Custom Parameters section can have any desired width, however, smaller width parameters may skew different image assets or truncate parts of the Tenfold UI.
Select which Unified Interface App the Embedded UI is to be added to.
Select the Roles that are going to use/see the Tenfold Embedded UI.
Click Save & Close on the bottom right corner.
Lastly, if using Google Chrome, each user's browser will need to have the "SameSite by default cookies" setting disabled otherwise dependencies of the CIF framework may not load.
1. In the Google Chrome browser navigate to chrome://flags via the address bar.
2. Search for "SameSite by default cookies."
3. Disable the "SameSite by default cookies" setting. The browser relaunches automatically.

Permissions Troubleshooting

The following steps will help you find any missing privileges.

Open up the Developer Tools of the browser and inspect the element (Ctrl + Shift + C in Chrome) to see the backend privilege name.
In most cases, requests with a status of 403 may mean that you need to configure additional permissions. To verify exactly which permission is required click on the request with status 403 and then the details of the particular request should be displayed.
Then move to the right and look for the missing permission. Each missing permission is described according to the following scheme: prvActionPrivilegeName, where Action is what privilege is missing, e.g. Read/Write/Create, etc. For example, as you can see in the screenshot below, the prvReadmsdyn_panetabconfiguration privilege is missing so we must set Read permission to the msdyn_panetabconfiguration field.
If you go further to the right, you will find the "LocalizedName" field, which indicates the name of the field for which we need to set the permission in our settings.
