Designate an OAuth User for Data Processing and Optimizations

Designate an OAuth User for Data Processing and Optimizations

Assign yourself or a colleague as the OAuth user. Territory Planning processes data management and alignment optimizations through the OAuth user on Salesforce Maps servers. That way, nobody’s affected during intensive system processing.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with Web Services API enabled
User Permissions Needed
To manage Territory Planning options in the Salesforce Maps package: Customize Application

Regardless of who creates and manages datasets and alignments, Territory Planning processes that work through the OAuth user. That user requires access to Territory Planning and any Salesforce objects involved in the data import process, such as the Account and Opportunity objects.

  1. To designate yourself as the OAuth user, log in to Salesforce with your username and password. Or to designate a colleague, ask that colleague to log in to Salesforce with their username and password.
    The person you designate as the OAuth user completes the rest of this procedure.
  2. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Installed Packages, and then select Installed Packages.
  3. Click Configure next to the Salesforce Maps package.
  4. To meet data residency requirements, open your permission groups and set Off-Platform Processing Location to the location that matches your Salesforce instance location. For example, your Salesforce instance is based in Europe, so you set your off-platform processing location to Europe in each permission group.

  5. Select OAuth. Then, click Authorize.
