When using Agentforce, your SDR Agent may fail to return responses for productQnA or other Data Cloud–powered actions.
This typically happens when the Agent does not have the required Data Cloud Data Space access or custom retriever access.
To resolve this, you need to ensure that the Agentforce SDR Agent permission set includes access to the default Data Cloud Data Space, and if you are using custom retrievers, that the Agent also has permissions for those.
This article walks you through the steps to configure these permissions and validate them using the Agent Builder preview panel.
To ensure the Agent can access your Data Cloud data:
Go to Setup → Permission Sets
Open Agentforce SDR Agent
Search for and open Data Cloud Data Space Management
Enable the default Data Space by checking the box
Click Save
If you have configured custom retrievers:
Make sure these retrievers are accessible to the Agentforce SDR Agent
Without retriever-level access, the Agent cannot return responses from productQnA or any other retriever-based action
Your admin should verify retriever permissions in Data Cloud or Agentforce as applicable.
After updating permissions:
Open Agent Builder
Use the Conversation Preview panel to test productQnA
If access is correctly configured: productQnA will work without errors
If access is still missing: the preview panel will show a clear access error message
Use that message to identify and fix any remaining permission gaps.
Permission changes may take a few minutes to take effect
Ensure the affected user has the Agentforce SDR Agent permission set assigned
Retrievers must be explicitly shared or accessible for the Agent to use them
