Improve Identity and Access Management Within Salesforce
Organizations across industries use a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool for their sales and marketing operations, and Salesforce is one of the most popular tools thanks to its user-friendly interface and customizable features. Its cloud-based architecture allows users to access critical business data from anywhere. However, the data sharing feature can lead to inadvertent exposure of sensitive data to third-parties, partners, or even the public!
Effective Identity and Access Management (IAM) is crucial for securing your Salesforce environment. However, managing access controls and identifying inactive accounts can be challenging. With a SaaS security posture management (SSPM) tool like CheckRed, it becomes easy to implement identity-based access and user privileges. Catching inconsistencies in user behavior and mitigating the risk of data breaches has never been easier.
User roles and permissions in Salesforce
There are multiple identity and access configurations possible within the Salesforce environment for individual users and groups of users. It allows you to define and control different types of users and what access levels or privileges each of them require. But as users and databases increase, it is difficult to track each and every one and have a complete overview of how data is shared.
- At the object level (or database table level), you can define user access and privileges including permissions to view, create, modify, or even delete.
- You can also manage access levels at the field level (one particular data point). For instance, a user can modify only some fields within an object.
- When it comes to the record level, Salesforce provides multiple access roles and user privileges including read-only settings, role hierarchies, sharing rules, and restrictions.
Organizations share data with their own employees, third-party vendors, partners, and others. Each user or user group within Salesforce requires a robust IAM system to manage user roles and privileges.
