Most bugs in Salesforce are not UI issues… They are access issues.
What to Validate:
- Who can see the record
- Who can edit/delete
- Who can access fields (FLS)
- Who can access tabs & objects
How to Test:
Create or use different users:
- Sales User
- Support User
- Manager
- Read-only user
Then test:
- Login as each user
- Open same record (e.g. Opportunity)
- Try:
- View
- Edit
- Delete
- Access restricted fields
Common Bugs:
- User sees data they should NOT see
- User cannot edit when they should be able to
- Field visible but should be hidden (FLS issue)
- Automation fails due to missing permissions
- Reports showing data user shouldn’t access
Pro Tip:
Automations can fail due to missing permissions. always test flows with restricted users.
