Overview

WHAT THIS AUDIT IS FOR.

Salesforce access grows over time. Profiles, permission sets, permission set groups, field-level security, and object permissions can stack together in ways that make access difficult to explain.

The Permission & FLS Audit gives admins a structured first-pass workbook for reviewing who has access to what, where over-privilege may exist, and which access patterns deserve review first.

Who has access to what, and where should we review first?

What Gets Reviewed

Profiles
Permission Sets
Permission Set Groups
Object Permissions
Field-Level Security
User Assignment Patterns

Permission Set Group membership and source attribution are included within the permission and FLS analysis, not as a separate worksheet. Also summarized into review-ready tabs such as over-privileged access, FLS exposure, unassigned permission sets, duplicate access patterns, user-level review signals, and remediation tracking.

WHEN TO RUN THIS DIAGNOSTIC.

  • Before an access review ahead of cleanup, redesign, or admin handoff.
  • Before changing profiles, permission sets, object access, or field-level security.
  • When preparing for a security or compliance review.
  • Right after inheriting an org with unknown access patterns.
  • When you suspect over-privileged users or unused permission sets.

THIS WORKBOOK IS USEFUL WHEN.

  • You need to review profile and permission set exposure.
  • You are preparing for access cleanup.
  • You need a workbook before discussing access risk with a client or stakeholder.
  • You are assessing a client org without installing an AppExchange package.

Free Summary

WHAT THE FREE SUMMARY SHOWS.

Free · On-Screen

The free on-screen summary gives a high-level view of access findings before purchase. It may include counts for profiles, permission sets, assignments, over-privileged access, sensitive exposure, external access indicators, and headline review items.

The full XLSX workbook includes the detailed rows, matrices, recommendations, and remediation tracker.

WHAT THE REPORT HELPS YOU DECIDE.

  • Which profiles or permission sets deserve review first
  • Where object-level permissions may be broader than needed
  • Where field-level security exposes sensitive fields
  • Which users may have elevated access through stacked permissions
  • Which permission sets are assigned, unassigned, duplicated, or potentially redundant
  • Which findings should move into a remediation plan
Access & Limits

WHAT THIS REPORT DOES NOT CLAIM.

  • It is not a replacement for a full security assessment.
  • It does not evaluate Record Type visibility, Apex Class or Apex Page access, Tab visibility or access, Custom Permissions, or Sharing Rules and Organization-Wide Defaults (OWD).
  • It does not automatically decide whether access is appropriate.
  • It does not modify profiles, permission sets, assignments, or FLS.
  • It does not remove users or change permissions.
  • It does not guarantee that every business risk is visible from metadata alone.
  • The report maps access configuration, profiles, permission sets, object permissions, and field-level security. It does not export the underlying field values users may have access to.

Permission findings require business context. Use the workbook to identify review areas, then validate intended access with system owners, data owners, and business stakeholders.

Why a bookmarklet instead of OAuth?

KeelCadence uses a browser-session-based connection so admins can run a diagnostic without installing a package, creating a Connected App, granting a long-lived OAuth refresh token, or giving KeelCadence persistent Salesforce access. The session is used only to read the metadata and aggregate signals needed for the diagnostic workbook. It does not create, update, or delete Salesforce records.

Common Questions

Common questions.

IS THIS A FULL SALESFORCE SECURITY AUDIT?+

No. It is a focused Permission & FLS diagnostic. It helps surface access-review candidates, over-privileged patterns, and field-level security exposure, but it does not replace a complete security assessment.

DOES IT CHANGE PERMISSIONS?+

No. The audit is read-only. It does not create, update, delete, assign, remove, or modify profiles, permission sets, users, or field-level security.

WHY IS THIS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE KEELCADENCE REPORT?+

Access risk is one of the highest-value Salesforce admin problems. The most comprehensive access review workbook, covering profile, permission-set, object-permission, FLS, and user-assignment analysis. Permission and FLS issues can affect data exposure, least-privilege review, external access, and governance.

DOES IT COVER PERMISSION SET GROUPS?+

Yes. Permission Set Group membership and source attribution are included within the permission and FLS analysis — reflected in the profile/permission-set matrices and effective-access findings — rather than broken out as their own worksheet.

CAN I SEE THE WORKBOOK BEFORE BUYING?+

Yes. A sample workbook is available before you connect your org or purchase.
