Hello All,
I've been reviewing the article about the new step up authentication requirements for report actions,
Prepare for the upcoming Step-up Authentication requirements on Report Actions, and it says specifically, "Available in Sandboxes:
Starting May 27, 2026, staggered over approximately 7 days".
Therefore, I should see the "
Require periodic step-up authentication when exporting or printing
" option when I go to Setup --> Identity Verification --> Session Security Level Policies --> Reports and Dashboards, I do not see that option. The only options I have are: None, Block, Raise session to high assurance, Raise session to high assurance when exporting or printing, Require periodic step-up authentication.
Another quote from the article, "Unlike the broader “
Require periodic step-up authentication” setting that was previously made available, the “Require periodic step-up authentication when exporting or printing
” policy allows users to view reports and dashboards without triggering a step-up challenge. While the new policy replaces the former by default upon enforcement, admins may see and select either option prior to enforcement."
Does anyone out there have the specific "
Require periodic step-up authentication when exporting or printing
" option available in their orgs?
I talked to Support and they say it should be available soon but could take up to 4 days, which would leave us 7 business days to test and understand end user effects and develop an effective communicaiton plan. This doesn't seem like good business practice on Salesforce's part.
@Reports & Dashboards
@Richardson Handjaja et. al. I understand that it was available as of 6/18 for my org. But the article clearly states, "Available in Sandboxes: Starting May 27, 2026, staggered over approximately 7 days", which means it should have been available no later than June 3rd for testing and understanding end user effects and developing an effective communication plan. Essentially being given 7 business days from the time the feature is available to enforcement is, in my opinion, an example of Salesforce not being a good business partner. I'm frustrated that they didn't do, in regards to the availability date, what they said they were going to do. And, I feel like they should extend the enforcement date by the time they missed having this feature available.
