Profile-Based Chatter Rollout Overview

With a profile-based rollout, only users who have the required user profile or permission set have access to Chatter. A profile-based rollout is useful for larger companies and companies or government agencies with regulatory constraints. It empowers admins to plan a controlled deployment in such orgs on a department-by-department basis.

Ask Salesforce about enabling a profile-based Chatter rollout. Chatter is secure and works in accordance with the security and permission settings in your Salesforce org.

After profile-based rollout is enabled for your org, you can enable Chatter for the users with the required user profile or permission sets. Users without the right profile or permission set don’t have access to Chatter.

Example Let’s say you assign a profile or permission set that excludes Chatter access to a subset of users. These users still have access to Salesforce objects, but they don’t see the record feed and they can’t post or comment.

• Get Ready for Profile-Based Rollout of Chatter
  If you’re rolling out Chatter to a subset of your users, you can manage Chatter access with custom user profiles and permission sets. There’s a little up-front work that you can do to prepare.
• Control Chatter Access Through User Profiles
  Modify existing custom user profiles to allow or deny access to Chatter.
• Control Chatter Access Through Permission Sets
  Manage Chatter access by modifying existing permission sets or setting up new ones.
• Profile-Based Rollout Considerations
  In organizations that use Chatter profile-based rollout, limitations apply. There are limits with user profiles, permissions sets, and the interaction between users with and without Chatter access.
