JetStream’s Permissions Management tool provides an unparalleled level of control over Salesforce permissions, enabling administrators to manage profiles and permission sets at the object, tab, and field levels all from a single interface. This comprehensive control makes it possible to fine-tune access across your entire org with precision and efficiency.

Unified Control Across Profiles and Permission Sets

Object-Level Permissions:

• With JetStream, you can easily manage object-level permissions, allowing or restricting access to specific Salesforce objects for any combination of profiles and permission sets. This control is crucial for determining who can create, read, update, or delete records for a particular object, ensuring that users have the right level of access based on their role.

Tab-Level Permissions:

• JetStream also simplifies the management of tab visibility for different profiles and permission sets. Whether you need to expose a new custom tab to a subset of users or hide it from others, you can manage these settings efficiently from the same interface, keeping your user interface clean and relevant to each user group.

Field-Level Security:

• Perhaps most powerful is JetStream’s ability to control field-level permissions across profiles and permission sets. You can specify which fields are visible or editable for each profile or permission set, which is critical for safeguarding sensitive data. By managing field-level security centrally, JetStream ensures that only the appropriate users can access or modify specific data fields.

The Caveat: Apex Class Permissions

Despite JetStream’s broad capabilities, Apex class permissions still need to be handled directly within Salesforce. Apex classes control backend logic and processes within Salesforce, and their permissions dictate who can execute specific classes or access certain functionalities driven by those classes. These permissions are critical for controlling access to custom logic and are typically managed through profiles or permission sets directly in Salesforce.

While JetStream covers almost all other aspects of permissions management — object, tab, field-level access, and more — administrators will need to return to Salesforce’s native tools to manage Apex class permissions.

Why It Matters:

JetStream’s ability to manage permissions at the object, tab, and field levels all in one place offers several key benefits:

• Comprehensive Management: By centralizing permissions control, JetStream eliminates the need to navigate through multiple screens or settings in Salesforce, making it easier to manage permissions holistically.
• Enhanced Security: With fine-tuned control over every level of access, from objects down to individual fields, JetStream helps protect sensitive data and ensures that users only see and interact with the data they are authorized to access.
• Improved Efficiency: JetStream’s unified interface reduces the time and effort required to update permissions, especially after deployments or when new features are introduced. This efficiency helps maintain productivity while ensuring security and compliance.

Eliminating Permissions Pain Points

Salesforce administrators often face challenges when managing permissions due to the platform’s complexity, especially in large organizations with many profiles and permission sets. JetStream effectively eliminates these pain points by providing:

• Bulk Editing: The ability to apply changes across multiple profiles and permission sets at once, whether for object, tab, or field permissions.
• Selective Management: Control specific profiles and permission sets as needed, allowing for targeted updates without affecting the entire org.
• Consistency and Accuracy: Ensures that permissions are applied consistently across the org, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring that users have appropriate access.

JetStream’s Permissions Management tool transforms what is often one of the most challenging aspects of Salesforce administration into a streamlined, efficient, and reliable process. Whether you’re managing permissions for a small team or a large enterprise, JetStream provides the tools you need to maintain control and ensure that your Salesforce environment remains secure and user-friendly.
