Salesforce Data Security Model

Security data model fulfils several and particular live business cases and provides a security model to safeguard data at several levels. Salesforce gives sharing tools to unlock and enable safe access to data according to business needs.

The salesforce data is stored in three formats: fields, records and objects. In the database, objects act as tables. Fields are identical to columns present in the table. Records represent the data present in the table. Salesforce uses field-level, object-level, and record-level security to get access to the field, object, etc.

Object-level security:

Prior to providing user access, Salesforce first checks whether the user has privileges to view objects of that type. Object-level access can be handled with the help of two configurations: permission sets and profiles. 

Field Level Security

Even Though the user can use the objects, he still requires access to fields of that object. In Salesforce, profiles will monitor the access of fields. Admin will give read and write privileges for specific fields. Admin also has the ability to hide an individual field.

Record-level Security

With the help of object-level and field-level security, a user can access his own records.
