            About S-Controls

            Use s-controls to add your own functionality to your Salesforce organization. Whether you are integrating a hosted application of your own or are extending your current Salesforce user interface, use s-controls to store your code or refer to code elsewhere. Custom s-controls can contain any type of content that you can display in a browser, for example a Java applet, an Active-X control, an Excel file, or a custom HTML Web form.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic
            Available in: Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
            Important
            Important Visualforce pages supersede s-controls. Organizations that haven't previously used s-controls can’t create them. Existing s-controls are unaffected and can still be edited.

            Considerations for S-Controls in Salesforce AppExchange Packages

            If you are developing Salesforce AppExchange packages with s-controls or are planning to install a AppExchange package with s-controls, you should be aware of the following limitations:

            • For packages you are developing (that is, not installed from AppExchange), you can only add s-controls to packages with the default Unrestricted API access. Once a package has an s-control, you cannot enable Restricted API access.
            • For packages you have installed, you can enable access restrictions even if the package contains s-controls. However, access restrictions provide only limited protection for s-controls. Salesforce recommends that you understand the JavaScript in an s-control before relying on access restriction for s-control security.
            • If an installed package has Restricted API access, upgrades will be successful only if the upgraded version does not contain any s-controls. If s-controls are present in the upgraded version, you must change the currently installed package to Unrestricted API access.
