The consultant is asked to ensure the correct profiles and permissions were set up for this connection. Which two steps should the consultant take?

AUpdate the System Administrator profile to include the API Only User.

BCreate a dedicated Integration User.

CAssign the integration user to the System Administrator profile.

DCreate a new custom profile and ensure API Only is selected.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

To ensure the correct profiles and permissions for an API integration between Salesforce and a risk control system, the consultant should do the following steps:

Create a dedicated Integration User that will be used to authenticate and authorize the API calls between Salesforce and the risk control system. The Integration User should have a unique username, password, and security token that are not shared with other users or systems. The Integration User should also have the minimum permissions and access settings required to perform the integration tasks.

Create a new custom profile and ensure API Only is selected. The API Only option restricts the user from logging in to the Salesforce user interface, but allows the user to access the Salesforce API. The custom profile should also have the appropriate object permissions, field-level security, record types, page layouts, and other settings that are relevant for the integration. The custom profile should be assigned to the Integration User.

Custom profiles are a good idea too, but API Only is a must!

Wait, why would you assign it to the System Admin profile? Seems risky.

I’m a bit confused about whether we should update the System Administrator profile or create a new one. I guess it depends on the specific requirements.

I feel like we did a similar practice question where creating a custom profile with API Only was mentioned. That could be option D, right?

I’m not entirely sure, but I think assigning the integration user to the System Administrator profile might not be the best practice.

I remember we discussed the importance of having a dedicated Integration User for API connections, so I think option B makes sense.

Creating a dedicated Integration User and ensuring the correct profile settings sounds like the way to go. I'll double-check my answer.

Yeah, B and D are the obvious choices. Can't go wrong with a dedicated integration user and a custom profile. Keeps things nice and clean.

Haha, gotta love these integration questions. Definitely don't want to make the admin user an API user - that's just asking for trouble!

I agree, B and D are the way to go. Updating the System Admin profile could be a security risk, and we don't want the integration user to have full admin privileges.
