Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer, and Database.com Editions
Custom Profiles available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
  • Enable User Self-Deactivation
    Let external Experience Cloud site and Chatter users deactivate their own accounts. The results are identical to an administrator-initiated deactivation.
  • Let Users Scramble Their User Data
    When users no longer want their personal data recognized in Salesforce, you can permanently scramble the data with the System.UserManagement.obfuscateUser Apex method. However, when you invoke the method for a user, the data becomes anonymous, and you can never recover it. As an extra precaution, you can’t use the method until you enable Scramble Specific Users’ Data for your org.
  • Enable Contactless Users
    Enable the contactless user feature for your org to reduce the overhead of managing customers and partners by creating users without contact information. Without contacts, you don’t have to worry about keeping user and contact records in sync. For example, if you maintain a user directory for identity purposes, no contact information is required.
  • Enable Enhanced Permission Set List Views
    You can more easily manage permission sets with Enhanced Permission Set List Views.
  • Enable Enhanced Profile List Views
    Enhanced lists give you the ability to quickly view, customize, and edit list data to speed up your daily productivity.
  • Enable Enhanced Public Group Assignment
    With the Enhanced Public Group Assignment, you can assign and remove members such as users, other groups, roles, and portal roles.
  • Enable Enhanced Role List Views
    The Enhanced Role List View is designed to manage role-based access control.
  • Enable Enhanced Permission Set Component Views
    When you have large numbers of Apex class assignments for permission sets, enable a paginated result set, standard filtering, and sorting to work more efficiently.
  • Enable the Enhanced Profile User Interface
    The enhanced profile user interface provides a streamlined experience for managing profiles. You can easily navigate, search, and modify settings for a profile. Your Salesforce org can use one profile user interface at a time.
  • Enable Enhanced User List Views
    The Enhanced User List View is designed to optimize data interaction and management.
  • Limit Profile Details to Required Users
    Keep Salesforce as secure as possible. Limit users from viewing any profile names other than their own.
  • Restrict Permissions Cloning in Profiles
    Use the Restricted Profile Cloning option to ensure that only permissions accessible to your org are enabled when you clone profiles. If you don't enable this setting, all permissions currently enabled in the source profile are also enabled for the cloned profile, even if your org can't currently access them.
  • Enable the Email Domain Allowlist
    Enable the Email Domain Allowlist Setup page, where you can restrict the email domains allowed in a user’s Email field.
  • Enable Field-Level Security for Permission Sets during Field Creation
    Set field-level security for a field on permission sets instead of profiles.
  • Enable User Access Policies
    User access policies allow you to automate and migrate your users’ assignments to access mechanisms, including managed package licenses, permission sets, and permission set licenses.
  • Enable User Field History Tracking (Beta)
    You can more easily manage and audit your user's data with User Field History Tracking.
