Error when creating a new custom entity.

I am attempting to add a new custom entity when deploying a customer site.

I simply enter the entity's short name and plural name and set it to
Ownership=User and click save and get a message that it failed and to call
the SystemAdmin.

(I have successfully generated this entity in our test environment and
exported the customization and attempted to import that into the live system
which failed so now I am attempting to do this manually.)

I have generated logs and get the following error information:

===========================================
<faultstring>System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable
to process request. ---&gt; Microsoft.Crm.CrmArgumentNullException: Empty
Guid passed to SecurityLibrary.GetOrganizationId ---&gt;

Parameter name: Empty Guid passed to SecurityLibrary.GetOrganizationId

============================================

Maybe something has become unstuck in the metadata?

Please, where do I start with this?!

cheers,
Paul.

Did you delete the 'System Customizer' role?
Deleting this role will prevent you from adding new custom entities.

If so, do a search for 'System Customizer' in the 'Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Developmer' newsgroup for some suggestions on restoring it.

Note: You can't just create a new role called 'System Customizer'. There are
some internal settings on the role that are needed.

Regards,
Phil.

Thanks for your response Phil. Unfortunately the System Customizer role is
still there and I am still a member of it.

It really looks like an internal bug in the CRM code to me?

If that is the case, what should my next move be?

cheers,
Paul

I seem to have the same error. I can not create a new custom entity. (Apart
from formview changes my CRM is standard.)

Updated it with roll-up pack 1 previously, mayby that is connected?

Hi there

I have exactly the same problem. What to do? The system customizer role
still exists.

Thanks for quick help!

It could have something to do with the Rollup, take a look at this
