Talk to us Frequently asked questions Are Salesforce enforcing “End of life Permissions on Profiles” in Spring 2026? Salesforce has no longer enforced the End of Life for permissions on profiles for Spring ’26. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to transition to a Permission Set-led security model to guarantee the reliability of your access management and enhance security within your Salesforce Org. What are the main permission types in Salesforce? In Salesforce, there are various key permission types governing user access and functionality: Read: Allows users to view records without the ability to make changes. Create: Permits users to generate new records. Edit: Grants users the capability to modify existing records. Delete: Authorizes users to remove records. View All: Provides the capacity to view all records, irrespective of ownership. Modify All: Allows users to edit or delete all records, regardless of ownership. Full Access: Grants comprehensive access to records, including viewing, editing, deleting, and transferring ownership. View Setup and Configuration: Enables users to access the Setup menu for system configuration. Manage Users: Provides the ability to create, edit, and delete user records, including managing their permissions. Custom Permissions: These are permissions defined by administrators to control access to custom functionalities or features. These permission types are assigned through profiles and permission sets in Salesforce, allowing administrators to customize access rights based on user roles and responsibilities within the organization. What is a Salesforce Profile? In Salesforce, a profile is a collection of settings and permissions that define what users can access and do within the Salesforce platform. It serves as a fundamental component of user management, allowing administrators to control features, objects, and data visibility for different roles within an organization. Profiles help tailor the Salesforce experience to meet the specific needs and responsibilities of individual users or groups, contributing to effective access control and security management. What is a Salesforce Role? In Salesforce, a role signifies a specific position or hierarchical level within an organization. It is typically linked to a user and specifies their position in the reporting structure. Roles are vital for regulating data visibility and access, working in tandem with sharing settings to manage which records users can view or edit. The role-based hierarchy establishes a clear organizational structure, grouping users into different levels based on their responsibilities. In summary, roles are essential for organizing and overseeing data access in Salesforce. What is a Salesforce Permissions Set? In Salesforce, a permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that grant additional access to specific features and data beyond what is provided by a user’s profile. Unlike profiles, which offer a broader set of permissions based on user roles, permission sets allow for more granular control by providing supplementary permissions to individuals or groups. This flexibility enables administrators to fine-tune access for users with varying responsibilities, even if they share the same profile. Permission sets are valuable tools for customizing and extending user permissions in a targeted manner within the Salesforce platform. Can I trial Elements? Yes. Talk to us.
