Hands-on challenges are the “secret sauce” of Trailhead. Before searching for solutions to superbadge challenges, review the Salesforce Certification Program Agreement and Policies. ** NOTE ** : If you were able to get a response that solved your issue, please mark it as the 'Best Answer' to help other Trailblazers.

I am completely stuck in the Control Access to Fields exercise (Create a Permission Set to Handle Field Access). I created manually a Job application object because it did no exist, created lookup relationships etc. I left all the box ticked in the fields (even though it was just 6 instead of 13 lines) in read and edit (besides position and candidate as per the instructions) and I can't pass the challenge. After reading through some forums I tried to install the recruiting package since it was missing maybe. It would no launch because I already created a job application field, which I deleted (probably big mistake on my end) and now I am just completely stuck. Please help me move forward. Thank you

Hi, 

I did create a Permission Set for "Manage Job Applications" but unable to edit the "Candidate" and "Positions" object field access on Job Applications object. It's all greyed out. I even checked these two objects separately and field level marked as disabled. Please help me with this?.

Hi everyone, 

 

I am working on the Trailhead module: 

 

Data Security → Control Access to Fields 

 

I created the permission set exactly as instructed: 

- Label: Manage Job Applications 

- API Name: Manage_Job_Applications 

- License: None 

- Job Application object permissions: Read and Edit 

 

However, the challenge validation still fails. 

 

I noticed that in all of my Trailhead Playgrounds: 

- There is no Candidate object (only Applicant). 

- The Job Application object contains Candidate__c and Position__c as Text fields instead of Lookup fields. 

 

Because of this, I cannot configure the permission set exactly as the challenge expects. 

 

Has anyone experienced this issue? Is this a Playground provisioning issue or has the Recruiting sample app changed? 

 

Thank you.

Hi Trailhead Team, 

 

I am unable to complete the "Control Access to Objects" Hands-on Challenge in the Data Security module. 

 

The required Recruiting objects (Position, Candidate, Job Application, and Review) are missing from my Trailhead Playground. 

 

I have: 

• Created the Manage Positions permission set. 

• Checked two different Trailhead Playgrounds. 

• Searched Object Manager and Object Settings. 

• Searched the App Launcher. 

 

The Position object does not exist, so I cannot assign Read, Create, and Edit permissions or complete the challenge. 

 

Could you please check if this is a Trailhead Playground provisioning issue and advise how to complete the challenge? 

 

Thank you.

Subject: Unable to Complete "Control Access to Objects" Challenge

 

Hi Trailhead Team,

I am unable to complete the Control Access to Objects challenge in the Data Security module because the required Recruiting objects (Position, Candidate, and Job Application) are missing from my Trailhead Playground. I have tried creating a new playground, but the issue persists.

Could you please check if this is a playground provisioning issue and help me resolve it?

Thank you for your support.

 

Kind regards,

I created a brand new Trailhead Playground for the Data Security > Control Access to Objects hands-on challenge. The unit requires the Recruiting custom objects (Position, Candidate, Job Application, and Review), but these objects are missing from Object Manager. I also created another new Playground and the same issue occurs. Because the Position object is missing, I can't complete the challenge. Has anyone experienced this or is there a provisioning issue?

I have searched the community for answers and even tried using the chat bot, but nothing works. I downloaded the recruiting app, I even connected another playground with the developers edition, but reviews objects doesn't show up anywhere. Neither does the positions object. I am not sure what I am doing wrong because in general, I understand the concept and what's supposed to happen, but it can't check my work because those objects don't exist anywhere.

I keep getting the error message "We can't find that the ‘Manage Job Applications’ permission set grants read access and edit access to all Job Application fields, except edit access for Position and Candidate." Yet I have it set up correctly. I have done the previous modules but am still getting this.

    I was able to figure it out. First I had to install this package "04t0P000000N9rs"

    I did it in my current environment and had to remove all permission set groups and delete the permission set and the previous 'Job Application' object I created since the data was missing because I was missing the data package ( I am sure it would work if you started it in a new environment and restarted the challenge. )

     

    Since the package comes with its own Candidate and Position fields, you have to go into each one of these within the Job Application Object under Field & Relationships -> Select Candidate ->Edit - > change field type - > Select lookup relationship -> Next -> Next-> (VERY IMPORTANT) Select Read Access and unselect Edit Access -> Save

     

    Now do the same for Position.

     

    After that just follow the Challenge Promp.

     

    Set up ' Manage Job Application Permission Set'

    Go to Object Settings under 'Job Applications'

    It should look like this and you're done!

     

    I was able to figure it out.

Hello everyone, 

Hope you all are doing great. I have a little issue regarding this hands on challenge under Salesforce platform administrator certification (Data security > Control access to Objects), where the challenge asks for set permission sets and permission set groups for "Recruiting app", but i do not have any app like this and any object like "Reviews" (as asked in the challenge) in my practice playground org. I checked all the possible ways to find it but still I am clueless right now, so finally I headed towards this help centre. Kindly help me to complete this. 

Regards.

    I have the same issue when doing that Data Security as part of the Prep for Cert. Platform Admin. **edit - I read through all these comments and it says to install this pkg first ... but the instructions don't say that :( - extra edit ... actually I tried installing that pkg manually and it still had issues so I went back in the Trail and its necessary to install the developer edition that in mentions in 2-3 sections prior in order to do it properly the needed data is added by doing so.
