Love it

Tried out the free version and it's very useful. Although UI didn't seem so friendly at first. For example, Configure Security window have neither OK nor Cancel buttons, so I was a little confused about how to save my changes. But overall it's awesome. Especially loved the ability to mass-edit permissions.

Cannot Login

LOGIN_MUST_USE_SECURITY_TOKEN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out. Are you at a new location? When accessing Salesforce--either via a desktop client or the API--from outside of your company’s trusted networks, you must add a security token to your password to log in. To get your new security token, log in to Salesforce. From your personal settings, enter Reset My Security Token in the Quick Find box, then select Reset My Security Token. I tried with two orgs, Production and Custom. I know my username and password. I'm on the same computer in the same location I always am. I'm definitely not locked out.

Try logging in appending your security token right after your password, so if your Salesforce password is 1234 and your security token is 5678 then your password in the login screen of the app would be 12345678 . I hope that helps!

Gabrielle, We are sorry to hear you are having difficulty logging in. Security Zen passes the login information to Salesforce, so the error message you received is what is generated from Salesforce. If the login URL and username are correct, then you can check the login history on the user record within Salesforce. This will show the login attempts, and may provide additional information on login failures. Please see our FAQ on common Salesforce login issues: https://securityzen.net/logging-into-salesforce or you may email us at Support@SecurityZen.net for further assistance. Hope this helps! Mike

Useful for Comparing Profile Permissions

This is proving to be a very useful tool for finding the permission differences between two profiles. It's easy to pull the data I need and then compare it visually on the screen or export to a .csv file and do a deeper analysis in Excel or some other tool. There is an upgrade to a paid version, but the free version has enough functionality to fill in a large gap in the tools provided by Salesforce.

Admin's best friend

This is the perfect way to handle security updates to a large number of permission sets and profiles at once. As a SF Consultant, I deal with security on a weekly basis for all our clients, and this tool has blown away my expectation of what a security review tool should do. Love it!

Very useful but for deploy needs expensive master version

It seems really good, it should have a feature where you can replace differences through orgs, I had to export to csv and do that in python, then I imported again to Security Zen and found that I couldn't deploy to my org since I needed a master version that costs 50$, it should also have a cheaper version for a day or a month, I would pay, since it saves a lot of time. Or a trial version, because I'm not sure if the deploy works properly.

Saved Us Days of Clicking Through Profiles

We had a very large deployment (600+ fields to 110+ profiles and a few permission sets) - and this tool is able to set FLS, object level security, tab level access, apex class access, vf page access all in one singular deployment. Migrating permissions was the least stressful part of that deployment. System settings are optionally pulled in, so there was no overwrite. One of the coolest features are 1, you can save the config as a package.xml or import a package.xml - which is really nifty to make sure you're in alignment with the objects being deployed, but 2 you can export to a .csv and share with the team so you can better audit and make corrections in the csv without having to click through FLS or profiles (while cursing lightning). You can then take that corrected .csv and upload it back in and then deploy! Missing fields can be added in to the spreadsheet without having to repull as well. Super impressed with this. The UI is a little basic, but who cares when you're literally saving yourself hours and days worth of troubleshooting and clicking.

Slick Idea...Buggy

Downloaded free version. Does not pull in fields marked as required. All fields except deleted ones should show in the matrix.

Hi Thomas, Unfortunately, that is not the intended user experience. You decide which entities to retrieve. If you select an object, all fields on that object will be retrieved, both custom and standard fields. We are currently working on the next version which should provide a smoother user experience. Regards, Mike

Slices Security Like Bread!

This is a desktop application that easily connects to multiple Salesforce orgs. You are able to pull in both Profiles and Permission sets and slice up the security by objects, classes, tabs, and pages (including system security settings). Upon retrieval you receive a nice clean matrix of profiles / permission sets as the columns and each permission / entity as a row. You can then export the resulting permissions into a .csv, modify, and reupload in the same permission matrix in which you received them. Simple and User Friendly.

Why is Windows Defender warning me about installing this app?

I'd like to install this app but the Windows Defender SmartScreen popup is scaring me a bit. Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk. App: SecurityZenSetup.msi Publisher: Unknown publisher

I completely get it, Michael! I just wasn't sure. Ordinarily, I would have ignored it, but I think I've drunk the fear sentiment kool-aid of our world today, and I need to do a virtual cleanse. I don't subscribe to that mindset, it goes against my nature. Thank you so much for your quick response! At least now that this comment is here, if anyone else experiences this same issue, they can rest assured that it's just mammoth company BS, and nothing to worry about.

Hi MLBA, We understand the Microsoft Windows message is scary, however, we prefer to spend our time developing software instead of paying homage to Microsoft. Since we haven't jumped through all of Microsoft's hoops, Windows displays a scary message during installation. Be assured that we have been through the Salesforce security review. Regards, Security Zen

Perfect product for a great use case
