Update Rollup 3 is the first UR post-transition to the new rollup servicing model. A very significant advantage of this model is the release predictability as Microsoft ships an update rollup every 8 weeks. The next rollup will release on May 7th. All the major product groups have moved to this rollup servicing model and many more are transitioning now as it’s been a win for Microsoft and our customers.

A few interesting facts about this Update Rollup:

· There are 91 new fixes in this rollup, of which 67 came from the SE Help project. Since UR3 contains the previous two Update Rollups, there are 384 fixes included in UR3 (of which 218 fixes came from the SE Help project).

In terms of priority, the breakdown is as follows:

	Update Rollup 1	Update Rollup 2	Update Rollup 3	Total
P1 (severe bug)	51	22	14	87
P2 (loss of functionality with no workaround)	48	50	39	137
P3 (loss of functionality with workaround)	47	68	34	149
P4 (Customer Design Change Request)	0	7	4	11
Total	146	147	91	384

User login issue for Custom Roles in MS CRM

I hope this blog should resolve your Issues. The culprit is that the role assigned to user. User, who logs into MSCRM for the first time should have the "Write” permission on the entity "User Settings" (check under the "Business Management" tab in the role).

Once you login the first time with that permission, CRM does some backend "house-keeping" tasks that will take care of your issue with login.


Thanks to Shaak :) who pointed out this in a Discussion Forum.
