Salesforce

The Salesforce integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated Salesforce environment that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.

Integration prerequisites

  • A Salesforce environment (most editions are compatible)

  • Permissions to a Salesforce organization with either:

    • System Administrator permission
    • Permissions for View Setup and Configuration, Customize Applications, and Modify All Data

Integration permissions

For the Salesforce integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following Salesforce permissions via a Connected App:

  • Manage user data via APIs (api)
  • Manage user data via Web browsers (web)
  • Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
  • Access unique user identifiers (openid)

These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted. To learn more about each permission, refer to the Salesforce OAuth Tokens and Scopes documentation.

Security findings

The Salesforce integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by severity level.
