Assign Offline Profile Agent Skill

Use when the user needs to bind users or teams to a Mobile Offline Profile so they actually receive offline sync on their devices. Without this, the profile exists in Dataverse but no one's app uses it.

Assign Offline Profile

Bind one or more users and/or teams to an existing Mobile Offline Profile. Without this step, the profile exists in Dataverse but is unbound — no one's app actually uses it for offline sync.

Per the maker portal's UX (the "Assign profile to user" dialog under env settings), this is a separate operation from profile creation. Many users hit "I created the profile but offline still doesn't work" — the missing piece is membership.

Workflow

  • Verify project + locate profile → 2. Pick users/teams → 3. Discover existing memberships → 4. Confirm diff (single gate) → 5. POST memberships → 6. Verify → 7. Summary

Step 1 — Verify project + locate profile

test -f power.config.json
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/resolve-environment.js" "$(node -e \"console.log(require('./power.config.json').environmentId)\")"

Profile ID resolution (in order):

| Source | Used when |

|---|---|

| $ARGUMENTS contains --profile-id <guid> | Explicit override |

| $ARGUMENTS contains --profile-name <name> | Resolve via GET /mobileofflineprofiles?$filter=name eq '<name>'&$select=mobileofflineprofileid |

| offline-profile.json in cwd | Read top-level profileId field |

| Otherwise | GET /mobileofflineprofiles and present AskUserQuestion with the list (max 4 options) |

STOP if no profile can be resolved. Print: Run /setup-offline-profile first, or pass --profile-id.

> power.config.json is intentionally NOT consulted here. That file is owned by npx power-apps init. The profile ID lives in offline-profile.json only.

Step 2 — Pick users/teams

$ARGUMENTS parsing:

| Flag | Effect |

|---|---|

| --user <upn> (repeatable) | Add specific user(s) by UPN ([email protected]) |

| --team <name> (repeatable) | Add specific team(s) by name |

| --me | Add the current Dataverse user from WhoAmI / systemusers(<UserId>) — useful for solo dev demos |

| --all-app-users | Add every user with System User role in the current env (broad; intended for prod rollout — confirm at gate) |

| --unassign-user <upn> / --unassign-team <name> | Remove an existing membership rather than add |

If no flags passed, present AskUserQuestion:

> Question: "Who should receive this offline profile?"

>

> Options (max 4):

> - Just me (the current user) — equivalent to --me

> - Pick specific users by UPN — you reply with comma-separated emails in the next message

> - Pick a team — list env's teams and pick one

> - All users with System User role — equivalent to --all-app-users; broad scope, confirm at gate

For pick-users flow: after the choice, print:

> "Reply with comma-separated UPNs (e.g. [email protected], [email protected])"

Then read the next user message and parse.

Step 3 — Discover existing memberships

For idempotency:

# Existing user memberships for this profile
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> GET \
  "usermobileofflineprofilememberships?\$filter=_mobileofflineprofileid_value eq <profileId>&\$select=usermobileofflineprofilemembershipid,_systemuserid_value&\$expand=systemuserid_systemuser(\$select=domainname)"

# Existing team memberships for this profile
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> GET \
  "teammobileofflineprofilememberships?\$filter=_mobileofflineprofileid_value eq <profileId>&\$select=teammobileofflineprofilemembershipid,_teamid_value&\$expand=teamid_team(\$select=name)"

Build the set of already-bound UPNs and team names.

For each candidate user/team from Step 2, look up their systemuserid / teamid (skip if already in already-bound):

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> GET \
  "systemusers?\$filter=domainname eq '<upn>'&\$select=systemuserid,fullname,domainname&\$top=1"

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> GET \
  "teams?\$filter=name eq '<team-name>' and teamtype eq 0&\$select=teamid,name&\$top=1"

(teamtype eq 0 excludes Access Teams and Owner Teams — only Manage Teams get profile assignments.)

Construct three lists:

  • to_add — resolved IDs to POST
  • to_remove — resolved IDs to DELETE (from --unassign-* flags)
  • not_found — UPNs/team-names that didn't resolve (warn)
  • already_bound — skipped no-ops

Step 4 — Confirm diff (single gate)

AskUserQuestion:

> Question header: Confirm membership changes

>

> Question body:

>

> `

> Profile: <name> (<profileId>)

>

> Will ADD:

> - User: [email protected] (Rahul Bansal)

> - User: charanma@... (Charan Mahankali)

> - Team: Field Service RMs (12 members)

>

> Will REMOVE:

> (none)

>

> Already bound (skipping):

> - User: admin@... (no-op)

>

> Could not resolve:

> - [email protected] — not in this env's system users

>

> Proceed?

> `

>

> Options:

> - Proceed

> - Cancel

Step 5 — POST memberships

For each in to_add, POST sequentially (parallel POSTs occasionally return 429):

User membership:

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> POST \
  "usermobileofflineprofilememberships" \
  --body '{
    "[email protected]": "/mobileofflineprofiles(<profileId>)",
    "[email protected]": "/systemusers(<systemuserid>)"
  }' \
  --include-headers

Expected 204 with OData-EntityId → capture membership GUID.

Team membership:

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> POST \
  "teammobileofflineprofilememberships" \
  --body '{
    "[email protected]": "/mobileofflineprofiles(<profileId>)",
    "[email protected]": "/teams(<teamid>)"
  }' \
  --include-headers

For each in to_remove, DELETE:

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> DELETE \
  "usermobileofflineprofilememberships(<membershipid>)"

> ⚠️ Duplicate handling: POSTing a membership that already exists returns 409 Conflict. The dataverse-request.js wrapper's looksLikeDuplicate rescue treats this as silent success (the Step 3 dedup should catch most cases first). Re-runs are safe.

Step 6 — Verify

Re-query memberships from Step 3 and assert the diff applied:

  • Every to_add now appears in the GET response
  • Every to_remove no longer appears

If the verification disagrees, return BLOCKED: membership writes did not commit and print the discrepancy.

Step 7 — Summary

Print:

✓ Membership updates applied.

  Profile      : <name>
  Total members: <N users + M teams>
  Added        : <list>
  Removed      : <list>
  Skipped      : <list> (already bound)

Users will receive the profile on their next mobile app sign-in. Existing
sessions need to sign out + sign in to trigger the profile pull.

Update memory-bank.md ## Offline profile block:

membership:
  users: [rahul@..., charanma@...]
  teams: [Field Service RMs]
  lastAssignedAt: 2026-05-19T...

Status code (final line)

  • DONE — every requested add/remove applied; verify confirmed
  • DONE_WITH_CONCERNS: <list> — some UPNs/teams could not be resolved, or --all-app-users matched 0 users (env may not have the role granted yet)
  • NEEDS_CONTEXT: <missing> — couldn't determine profileId (no offline-profile.json, no --profile flags, no profiles in env)
  • BLOCKED: <reason> — auth failure, profile not found in env, or verification disagreement

Failure recovery

Memberships are individually committed (no transaction). If Step 5 fails mid-loop:

  • Partially-added memberships remain (visible in env)
  • Re-running with the same arguments is idempotent (Step 3 dedup catches what's already bound)
  • Use --unassign-* to undo specific bindings if needed

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/assign-offline-profile from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
