Foundational Application Security
Field notes from the trenches of appsec implementation
As an admin you may opt to test certain configurations you make by logging in as another user. If you are always logged out of your admin account when you log out as the user, you can change that by unchecking the Force relogin after Login-As-User checkbox under Setup > Security > Session Settings.
The organization-wide sharing default setting can’t be changed for some objects. When a custom object is on the detail side of a master-detail relationship with a standard object, its organization-wide default is set to Controlled by Parent and it is not editable.
When you create a new object in Salesforce, permissions for the object are disabled for all profiles by default. You can enable object permissions by editing custom profiles.
If you open an object (e.g. Price Books) and there’s nothing listed in the Recently Viewed and there’s no option to select All Items, create a new list view from the list view control and that should bring up records.
