In the Winter ’21 release Salesforce enforced access restrictions to AuraEnabled Apex methods. As a result of these changes, users may encounter errors when trying to do specific operations in NPSP if permissions have not been adjusted. Historically users were granted default access to Apex Classes. With these updates Salesforce is providing increased access security by requiring that you grant explicit user permissions for users.

What is the change?

In the Winter ’21 release, Salesforce enforced a security update which restricts access to AuraEnabled Apex methods. Unless users have been granted access to specific Apex classes, they will encounter errors when attempting to complete specific tasks in NPSP.

How does this affect me?

If access has not been granted to specific NPSP Apex classes either through User Profile settings or Permission Sets, users, including System Administrators, will see errors when they attempt to:

• Change NPSP Settings
• Configure Advanced Mapping
• Configure Customizable Rollups
• Manage Households
• Batch Gift Entry/Gift Entry
• Change Recurring Donation Settings
• Edit/Enter Recurring Donations

What action do I need to take?

You will need to explicitly grant users permission to either through User Profile settings or Permissions Sets. For detailed instructions on which Apex classes users need access to, please see this troubleshooting article here in the Power of Us Hub.
