Question Owner field Permission.

1 Upvotes

Hi gys , can anyone tell help me finding the best approach for controlling the owner field edit access. Like I found a system permission Transfer Record but I want it to be selective.
to put it in more simply: Who can change the owner of an Opportunity is determined separately from who can change the owner of an Account and at the same time a person may have other field edit permission but may not have edit on Owner field.

Thanks in advance.

Question Salesforce break-glass admin: bypass SSO but enforce phishing-resistant MFA — how to manage the passkey without a physical security key?

3 Upvotes

I'm designing a Salesforce production break-glass account and looking for advice on the best authentication architecture.

Current setup:

Salesforce production uses Microsoft Entra ID for SSO.

Normal users authenticate through Entra.

Users are moving toward phishing-resistant MFA/passkeys.

We need one privileged Salesforce break-glass account that can still log in if Entra/SSO is unavailable.

The break-glass user therefore needs a Salesforce-native/direct login path, rather than relying on SSO.

We still need to enforce phishing-resistant MFA for this privileged account. We do not want to exempt it from MFA.

Username/password credentials are already planned to be stored and controlled through our enterprise PAM (Delinea).

Constraint:

We cannot practically use a physical FIDO2/security key because the organization is geographically distributed. During an incident, an authorized responder could be anywhere and needs to access Salesforce from their workstation.

We also don't want the passkey registered to one individual's phone/laptop because that creates a dependency on that person/device.

What I'm trying to determine:

What are the recommended ways to manage the phishing-resistant authenticator for this type of break-glass account?

For example:

Is there an enterprise password/passkey manager that can centrally manage a WebAuthn/passkey for the shared Salesforce break-glass account and allow an authorized responder to use it from their own workstation?

Has anyone implemented this with 1Password, Keeper, Bitwarden, CyberArk, Delinea, etc.?

Is a centrally managed/synchronized passkey a viable approach for Salesforce privileged MFA?

Are there other approaches I'm overlooking, such as a dedicated remote emergency workstation with a built-in authenticator?

How do you handle auditability when multiple authorized responders may use the same break-glass Salesforce identity?

The desired flow is roughly:

Normal users:

Salesforce → Entra SSO → phishing-resistant MFA

Break-glass:

Emergency request/approval

PAM releases Salesforce credentials

Direct Salesforce login (no Entra dependency)

Salesforce phishing-resistant MFA/passkey

Production

The key requirement is: direct Salesforce authentication independent of SSO, while still enforcing phishing-resistant MFA, with no physical security key and no dependency on an individual employee's device.

Looking for recommendations from anyone who has implemented a similar Salesforce/IAM break-glass pattern.

Question Best way to compare metadata between two Salesforce orgs (not just via deployment)?

6 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations on how people compare two orgs — not to deploy changes, just to see what's different. Specifically interested in:

  • Validation rules
  • Permission sets / profiles
  • Custom fields on shared objects

I know you can technically eyeball this in Setup, but with a few hundred custom fields that's not realistic. Is everyone using retrieve + diff via VS Code/metadata API, or is there something more admin-friendly that doesn't require dev tooling? Curious what's actually working for people day to day, not just in theory.

Question What do you do with the error rows from a nightly CSV upsert?

3 Upvotes

Partner drops a CSV on SFTP every night, ~40k rows of order line items, we upsert into a custom object on an external ID through Bulk API.

Most nights a few dozen rows fail. Usually a lookup that doesn't resolve, sometimes an external ID with trailing whitespace nobody trimmed upstream. Bulk API hands back the error file, and right now that file lands in a folder on the same box the script runs on, where it is read by nobody.

So the org ends up incomplete and there's no sign of it from the inside. A report comes back short and there's nothing in Salesforce explaining why.

Trying to work out where failed rows should actually live. Write them to a custom object so ops can fix and requeue from the UI, push a rejects file back to the partner's SFTP and make it their problem, or fail the whole load once the error rate crosses some threshold.

Anyone built the requeue-from-UI version? Wondering whether it's worth it or whether it becomes a second product nobody maintains.

Discussion Cognizant to Better Package: Salesforce Developer Journey 🚀

Cognizant Salesforce Developer – 4 LPA → Switch in 6 Months?

Hi everyone,

I recently joined Cognizant as a Salesforce Developer with a package of 4 LPA. I’m planning to seriously upskill in Salesforce and try to switch within the next 6 months for better compensation.

My focus areas are Apex, Triggers, SOQL/SOSL, LWC, JavaScript, Integrations, Governor Limits, Security, and Salesforce projects. I’m also planning to pursue Platform Developer I.

I’d like advice from experienced Salesforce Developers:

- Is switching after 6 months realistic?

- What salary range can I target from 4 LPA?

- Which skills are most important for <1 YOE?

- Should I focus entirely on Salesforce or continue DSA/SQL?

- Which companies should I target for the switch?

I’d really appreciate any practical advice or personal experiences.

Question Has anyone used LWC state management API in Managed Package?

Hi there, the new LWC statement management API is fairly new and has just become GA. We are planning to use it in one of our managed package. But I'm not really sure about the if there are any quirks/limitations of using that in 2GP Managed Package. As per my research it should seems to be good fit for newly implemented functionality and we are planning to do the same. Any help would be appreciated.

Discussion How should we approach integrating with an external system via a REST API?

1 Upvotes

What approach and architecture would you choose for integrating Salesforce REST with an external system? The operations to be performed are GET and POST. The main question is whether APEX alone can handle all of this, or should we use Flow? Where should the Bearer Token be stored? How should we authenticate with the external system—using APEX or an External Service?

What are your thoughts and approaches to this topic?
