Security for the Salesforce.com Adapter
Protecting Salesforce.com Resources
TDV supports the complete set of data security measures offered by Salesforce.com. Security can be configured at a variety of levels: per user, object, field within object, or operation (such as INSERT). All security features are configured using the Salesforce.com Web site's administration screens, and become effective immediately to TDV users.
You can use Salesforce.com’s identity confirmation security feature with your password, as described in
Salesforce.com Identity Confirmation Security Feature.
With pass-through security, you can avoid exposing a Salesforce.com Administrator’s access rights to TDV users. Users simply log in to TDV with their Salesforce.com user credentials, which are forwarded to Salesforce.com. This ensures that the proper Salesforce.com data security is applied to every user, and that credentials are never stored within TDV.
For information about setting pass-through login, see the TDV User Guide.
