            LoginEvent Policies

            Login event policies track login activity and enforce your login requirements.

            Required Editions

            Available in both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience.

            Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

            Requires Salesforce Shield or Salesforce Event Monitoring add-on subscriptions.

            Policy at a Glance

            Object Conditions Available in Condition Builder Actions Considerations
            LoginEvent API Type, API Version, Application, Authentication Method Reference, Browser, Country, Login Subtype, Login Type, Login URL, Platform, Session Level, Source IP, TLS Protocol, User ID, User Type, Username Block, Notifications, Multi-Factor Authentication (for UI logins)
            • UI logins with username and password, SAML single sign-on logins, and API-based logins (OAuth, REST, SOAP) are captured.
            • Multi-factor authentication isn’t supported for Lightning Login (passwordless login) users or for API-based logins. For API-based logins, the action is upgraded to Block.
            • LoginEvent policies aren’t triggered by invalid login attempts such as incorrect passwords.

            What You Can Do With It

            You can target specific login behaviors that reduce performance or pose a security risk. Create a policy that can:

            • Block users who log in from certain locations
            • Require multi-factor authentication for users logging in from unsupported browsers
            • Monitor logins from specific applications
