Issue Description:

Recently in a migration project, we had a requirement to implement an override on Owner field.

We used plugins to achieve this and started getting following error message:

Changing security attributes is not allowed in stage 20 plugins.

Issue Resolution:

Plugin was set in Pre-Create stage.

Trying to find solutions some of the approaches that came across were:

· Turn plugin into Post-Create: This would not suit my case.

· Check plugin stage before running the assignment operation:

· Turn plugin into Pre-Validate stage.

I suggested the third route and it worked like a Charm.

CRM Tip: If you would like to understand about Pre-validation stage, here is a quick description from a great old colleague of mine: https://rajeevpentyala.com/tag/pre-validate/

Hope it helps and Happy CRMing!
