How to assign the ScheduleOnce permission set to the Salesforce API user

Last Modified on Feb 22, 2019

The Salesforce setup wizard includes 5 phases: API connection, Installation, Field validation, Field mapping, and Creation rules. In this article, you will learn how to assign the ScheduleOnce permission set to the API user in Salesforce.

Permission Sets in Salesforce define what functions and features your users have access to in Salesforce. To use the ScheduleOnce Connector for Salesforce, you must assign the appropriate permission set to your API user.

The ScheduleOnce permission set assigns permissions to work with Lead, Contact, Case, Account and Activity records. This will allow the ScheduleOnce Connector to create and update records through the API User.

Note When using the advanced secure mode, you do not need to use the ScheduleOnce permission set and can control the permissions assigned to the connected API User.

Requirements

To assign the ScheduleOnce permission set, you will need:

A Salesforce Administrator for your organization.
An installed ScheduleOnce connector for Salesforce managed package.

To assign the permission set:

Log in to Salesforce as your API user.
In your Salesforce Setup page, go to Manage Users > Permission Sets.
