We made changes to the Read Only profile that you’ll want to know about. And, we now have integration permission sets.
- Convert the Read Only Standard Profile to a Custom Profile (Update)
This update converts the Read Only standard profile to a custom profile. After the update is enforced, you can edit permissions in this profile as your business needs require. - The Read Only Profile Is No Longer Available in New Salesforce Orgs
Salesforce orgs created in Spring ’21 and later don’t have the Read Only standard profile. If you want to assign users read-only permissions, we recommend that you start with the Minimum Access standard profile as a least-privilege profile base. Then you can assign custom permission sets to grant users the read access required for your business needs. - Use Integration Permission Sets to Exchange Data with Integration Partners
Integration permission sets define the scope of data access by Salesforce integration-related features and services. Depending on the integration features, Salesforce can predefine the integration permission sets so that they aren’t editable in your Salesforce org. Or, an integration permission set can have no initial permissions so that you have full control for your org. An integration permission set can also come with on-premises permissions that you can modify for your org.
