Gotchas If You Don’t Allow Users to Switch Between Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic

If you want some of your users to go all in on Lightning Experience, you can remove the Switcher to keep them in the new interface. Here’s what to expect when you enable the Hide Option to Switch to Salesforce Classic permission.

• Users working in Salesforce Classic are switched to Lightning Experience.
• Users with any of these profiles or permissions continue to see the Switcher (the Switch to Salesforce Classic link):
  • the standard System Administrator profile
  • Customize Application permission
  • Modify All Data permission
  • Manage Users permission
• If users access features that aren’t supported in Lightning Experience, they can switch to Salesforce Classic, even though the permission is enabled. They are in Salesforce Classic only as long as they’re using a feature that’s not available in Lightning Experience. When they access a feature that’s available in Lightning Experience, they switch back.
• If the Hide Option to Switch to Salesforce Classic permission is later disabled, users are returned to the default interface they were using when the permission was enabled.
