Restrict Login Hours

Learning Objectives

In this project, you’ll:

• Restrict when users can log in to an organization.
  
• Determine the levels of access users have to objects.
  
• Set up a data access model using the role hierarchy, sharing, and teams.
  
• Control the levels of access users have to fields.
  

Introduction

The CEO of AW Computing, Jon Wiseman, has some security concerns. He wants to reduce the chances of unauthorized access to data housed in Salesforce.  

Not everyone in your organization should have the same level of access. Support users should only be able to log in during the company’s standard office hours. All other users should have 24/7 access and be able to log in on the company network and the VPN.

Jon has enlisted your awesome admin skills to help resolve this issue. In this project, you learn to secure your Salesforce organization by controlling exactly what data your users have access to within it. 

Throughout this project, this org chart will be revisited to see how you can set access at each of these levels.

Create a New Trailhead Playground

For this project, you need to create a new Trailhead Playground. Scroll to the bottom of this page, click the playground name, then click Create Playground. It typically takes 3–4 minutes to create a new Trailhead Playground.

Note: Yes, we really mean a brand-new Trailhead playground! If you use an existing org or playground, you can run into problems completing the steps in this project.
