Standard Profiles
Every Salesforce org includes standard profiles that you can assign to users. Edits to standard profiles are limited to certain settings.
Required Editions
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |
| Your edition determines which standard profiles are available. |
Every org includes standard profiles. In Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions, you can use standard profiles or create, edit, and delete custom profiles. In orgs where you can’t create custom profiles, such as Contact Manager and Group Editions, you can assign standard profiles to your users, but you can’t view or edit them.
While you can’t edit standard profile permissions, you can edit the following settings:
- Custom App Settings
- Tab Settings
- Desktop Integration Clients options
- Session Settings
- Password Policies
The following table lists commonly used permissions in standard profiles.
| Profile Name | Available Permissions |
|---|---|
| System Administrator | Can configure and customize the application. Has access to all functionality that doesn’t require an extra license. For example, administrators can’t manage campaigns unless they also have a Marketing User license. Can manage price books and products. |
| Standard Platform User | Can use custom AppExchange apps developed in your org or installed from AppExchange. In addition, can use core platform functionality such as accounts, contacts, reports, dashboards, and custom tabs. |
| Standard Platform One App User | Can use one custom AppExchange app developed in your org or installed from AppExchange. The custom app is limited to five tabs. In addition, can use core platform functionality such as accounts, contacts, reports, dashboards, and custom tabs. |
| Standard User | Can create and edit most major types of records, run reports, and view the org's setup. Can view, but not manage, campaigns. Can create, but not review, solutions. |
| Minimum Access - API Only Integrations | Grants access to Salesforce only through the API. Assign more permissions to a user though permission sets. Replaces the deprecated Salesforce API Only System Integrations user profile, which isn't available in newly provisioned orgs. For more information about using this profile for integration users, see Give Integration Users API Only Access. |
| Customer Community User | Can log in via an Experience Cloud site. Your site settings and sharing model determine their access to tabs, objects, and other features. |

| Read Only |  Note The Read Only standard profile was converted to a custom profile in
existing Salesforce orgs with the rollout of the Summer ’21 release. This change
allows you to edit permissions and rename the profile. New orgs created in Spring
’21 and later don’t have the Read Only standard profile, but these orgs can use the
Minimum Access profile and assign custom permission sets to grant users read access
as required. For more information, see the knowledge article, Read Only Profile Conversion to Custom
Profile. Can view the org’s setup, run and export reports, and view, but not edit, other records. |
