This week we have a 1st.  An OrgConfession.com that is ALSO an OrgZen.com !!!

CONFESSON #791 and  ZEN #24

I once shared administration duties with another person who couldn’t be bothered to learn the first thing about how to administer Salesforce, merely taking the shortest path to get any task done. For example, instead of learning how folder sharing works, she made all users System Administrators so that they could see all of the reports.

I put a stop to this by creating a Validation Rule to throw an error any time she attempted to make someone a System Administrator. I made the error message something nonsensical like “Illegal action on system.create(User): Error code 0X776yuZw8bXx22. This action is not permitted in the current application state.” Then when she kept asking me if I knew anything about this, I just played dumb.

Inspired.
