#Dataloader.io12 discussing

Hello @Siddharth Asaithambi

1) Data Loader can be used by non-admin. You need system permission for "API Enabled" as well as the user need to grant access to Data Loader as the connected App (this might depend on the version/type of Data Loader you'd be using) 

2) Data Loader will use Salesforce APIs to access your Salesforce Org thus it DOES respect user's permission for Field Level Security as well as object permissions and record-level access (record-level access is controlled by many different features thus I won't mention all of them here). So if you would like to restrict access to certain records and objects you need to set them for each user and you cannot restrict for any user using Data Loader. (e.g. If Admin with Modify All permission use Data Loader then he/she will be able to access all records through Data Loader)

Hi @Richard Muhumuza

Please refer to the below link -

If you are targetting to upload files under any specific record - mention the same under FirstPublishLocationId. 

If you want the files to be uploaded under the Salesforce Files - give your user Id under  FirstPublishLocationId.  

You can try with workbench by omitting the ContentDocumentId field - works this way too

Greetings, @Nate Schaufler

From the outside looking in, it looks like you have all the required fields. Can you do the following to confirm that you are not missing anything: 

1. Export one working EventRelation record (from an event that already has a contact) 

I suspect you might have to use TRUE & FALSE instead of 1 & 0. 

Be well-

Use Data Loader → Export → EventRelation 

Export fields: EventId, RelationId, IsInvitee, IsParent 

This lets you see the correct structure and flag values.

You can use the ReportMetadata and FieldUsage information through the Tooling API or Metadata API to identify which reports reference a specific Case field.

Here’s a simple approach:

1. Use Workbench or SOQL via Developer Console to query the Report object for all reports.
2. Retrieve their metadata (JSON/XML) using the Metadata API.
3. Search for your custom Case field’s API name (e.g., Case.Custom_Field__c) in the report metadata.
4. To find Last Run Date, query the Report object field LastRunDate.

If you prefer automation, you can use the Salesforce CLI or Python (simple_salesforce) to loop through reports, extract metadata, and flag those that reference your field.

 This gives you a “Report of Reports” showing which ones include that Case field and when they were last run — perfect for cleanup and justification.
