Dynamics 365 Power Pane Next

In-page action pane, diagnostics and real user impersonation for Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Dataverse.

Power Pane Next puts a single, searchable action pane inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 model-driven apps: 73 one-click commands for records, forms, metadata, security and diagnostics, plus real user impersonation — without leaving the record you are working on. It is built for the people who live inside Dataverse every day: developers, consultants, testers and system administrators. HOW YOU OPEN IT Click the button in the app's navigation bar, click the toolbar icon, or press Alt+P. Type to filter the action list, move with the arrow keys, press Enter to run. Results open in a dialog you can pin or float, so the page stays usable while you work. WHAT IS IN THE PANE General - User Info: the signed-in user, their security roles and teams. - Form Context: client URL, entity, record id, form name and form type. - Run Code: JavaScript with the page's own Xrm in scope, or FetchXML, in one editor. Results render as a searchable table with copy, CSV export and "save to snippets". - Snippets: a local library of your FetchXML and JavaScript snippets, with JSON import and export. Impersonation - Impersonate User: search a user and act as them server-side through the Dataverse CallerObjectId header. Recent and pinned users are remembered. - Stop Impersonation, and a debug view of the active request rules. Record - Entity Info, Record Id, Record Url, Record Properties, Clone Record. - Field Inspector: every control on the form with label, schema name, type, value, required level and visibility. - Lookups: every lookup on the form and the record it points at. Form - Enable All Fields, God Mode, Show Hidden Fields, Disable Field Requirement. - Logical names inline (click a label to copy the schema name), OptionSet Values, Show Field Value, Find Field, Highlight Dirty Fields, Changed Fields. - Refresh Ribbon, Refresh Form, Refresh Subgrids, Refresh Without Save, Clear Notifications, Toggle Lookup Links. - All Fields: one table with display name, logical name, type, target entity, raw value and formatted value, plus a one-click copy of the raw Web API JSON. - Table Processes: workflows, business rules, business process flows, actions and custom APIs for the entity. Navigation - Go to Record by Id, Go to Create Form, Open Web API Record, Entity Metadata Browser. - Entity Editor and Form Editor (classic and new), Solutions, Solutions History, Security, System Jobs, Processes, Mailboxes, Advanced Find, Home, Mobile Client, Performance Center, CRM Diagnostics. - Pin the current page to the side panel. Debug - Microsoft's documented troubleshooting URL flags, applied in one click: Forms Monitor, Command Checker, Performance Center, Disable Form Handlers, Disable Business Rules, Disable Form Libraries, Disable Form Command Bar, Disable Web Resource Controls, Disable Business Process Flow, disable a single control, Navbar Off, Enable Dark Mode, Clear Flags. Admin - Environment Info, Organization Settings, Client Info. - User Permissions: view and edit a user's business unit, security roles and teams in place. When the platform refuses a write, the real Dataverse error message is shown, not just an HTTP status. - Role Check: look up many users at once and get name, email, business unit, roles and teams as a table you can copy or export. MAKE IT YOURS Reorder, hide and bind a keyboard shortcut to any action from the options page. Export and import the whole configuration — visibility, order, theme, shortcuts and snippets — as a single JSON file. Dark and light themes. PRIVACY Everything runs in your browser, inside your own signed-in session. There is no account, no server, no analytics and no telemetry; nothing is sent to the developer or to any third party. The extension talks only to the Dynamics 365 environment you already have open. Permissions and why they exist: storage (your settings, snippets and impersonation state), tabs (apply impersonation to the right tabs), declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess (set the CallerObjectId header while impersonating), https://*.dynamics.com/* (the pane only runs on your org). REQUIREMENTS - Chrome 111 or newer (Manifest V3). - A Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Dataverse environment on *.dynamics.com. - Impersonation additionally needs the "Act on behalf of another user" privilege (prvActOnBehalfOfAnotherUser); the Delegate and System Administrator roles include it. Good to know: this is a development and administration aid. Use it against test or sandbox environments, and read before you run a write action on production data.
