By: Enrico Murru

Overview of this book

Low-code platforms allow users to focus on business logic to create solutions without getting trapped in programming complexities. Thanks to its powerful features for designing, developing, and deploying apps without having to hand-code, Salesforce is at the forefront of the low-code development revolution. This book will guide you in building creative applications for solving your business problems using the declarative framework provided by Salesforce. You’ll start by learning how to design your business data model with custom objects, fields, formulas, and validation rules, all secured by the Salesforce security model. You’ll then explore tools such as Workflow, Process Builder, Lightning Flow, and Actions that will help you to automate your business processes with ease. This book also shows you how to use Lightning App Builder to build personalized UIs for your Salesforce applications, explains the value of creating community pages for your organization, and teaches you how to customize them with Experience Builder. Finally, you'll work with the sandbox model, deploy your solutions, and deliver an effective release management strategy. By the end of this Salesforce book, you’ll be ready to customize Salesforce CRM to meet your business requirements by creating unique solutions without writing a single line of code.

This means that, even if a user has access to the Account object and all related fields, a proper sharing setting can let them access only the accounts that they have created or only the accounts based on European countries, for example.

To define sharing, you generally will set up org-wide sharing (telling Salesforce whether Salesforce object records should or should not be seen by anyone), and if you choose to restrict general access, you can open up access to a class of records or users using sharing rules. In this scenario, org-wide sharing defines the strictest access possible to an object's record.
