Update: Migrating the Trailblazer Community to Slack 

 

As part of the broader transition to the reimagined Trailblazer Community in Slack, the online Trailblazer Community website will move to read-only status on

October 30, 2026.

 

What this means for this group:

This group will become read-only on October 30. Members will no longer be able to create new posts or reply to existing threads.

 

Some groups will not transition to the new Trailblazer Community in Slack. Existing content will remain available for reference as an archive. 

 

The broader Trailblazer Community will continue in Slack. When the new Trailblazer Community in Slack launches in November, members will be able to join the broader community and participate in new conversations there.

 

Please review the FAQ for more details about the transition and what to expect next.

 

Thank you for being part of this group and for everything you’ve contributed to the Trailblazer Community. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm investigating a platform level behaviour with the standard Location

 object and wanted to share my findings to see if anyone else has encountered this. 

 

The Issue 

 

Users with the following object permissions:

  • Read = Enabled
  • Create = Enabled
  • Edit = Disabled

Cannot create Location records. Record creation fails with:

INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_ON_CROSS_REFERENCE_ENTITY

As soon as we grant Edit

 permission on the Location object, the same users can create records successfully. 

 

Troubleshooting Performed 

 

To isolate the problem, we:

  • Disabled all Record-Triggered Flows
  • Disabled all Apex Triggers (including managed package triggers where possible)
  • Attempted creation with only the required Name field populated
  • Removed all references to related records and lookup fields
  • Verified consistent reproduction across multiple test users

Even under these minimal conditions, Create permission alone is insufficient. 

 

My Hypothesis

 

While reviewing the Location object documentation, I noticed the 

RootLocationId field (Read-only Lookup to Location) is populated with the Id of the Location record itself (self-reference) when a Location has no parent (ParentLocationId is null). 

 

 Since a record's Id is not available until the record is saved to database (not committed), any platform process that maintains fields dependent on the newly generated Id must execute in the after context 

(context in which the fields of the record itself are no longer editable). 

 

My hypothesis is that Salesforce performs an internal update operation after the insert to populate RootLocationId with the newly created record's Id. If this internal update runs in the same transaction and in the current user context, it would require Edit permission on the Location object—even though the user is only attempting to create a new record.  

 

Why I think this happens: 

 

  1. RootLocationId is a read-only, system-maintained field
  2. The field references the Location's own Id (when no parent exists)
  3. Record Ids are only available in after-insert context
  4. The error INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_ON_CROSS_REFERENCE_ENTITY typically indicates insufficient permissions on a cross-referenced record
  5. In this case, the "cross-reference" may be the Location record itself during the internal update

Has anyone experienced the same behavior with the standard Location object? Is there any documented platform behaviour related to RootLocationId or Location hierarchy management that could explain this?

    The Salesforce support team has replied. They have informed me that this is a platform bug. Here is their explanation: 

     

    "This occurs because Salesforce automatically updates the read-only Root Location (RootLocationId) field as part of the standard save process. This internal update currently checks for Edit permission on the Location object. Therefore, Create permission alone is not sufficient, causing the entire record creation to be rolled back." 

     

    They have informed that the bug has been fixed and will be included in release 264.2 (Winter '27).

Ran into packaging gotcha worth flagging to this group: if Permission Set includes standard object permissions or user permissions, 2nd-generation package builds clean — no error, no warning at build time, none at install time either. But those permission entries get silently stripped during install. Permission set deploys "successfully" and ends up empty of the very perms you configured.

No compile error. No validation warning. Just quiet divergence between metadata you packaged and metadata that lands in subscriber org — typically surfaces only when integration user hits FLS/object-access failure in production, and someone burns hours tracing it back to packaging, not code.

For anyone architecting managed/2GP packages with permission sets: worth auditing what's actually landing post-install, not just trusting deploy success.

Idea open on Salesforce Ideas asking for standard object perms + user perms to be packageable. Even short of full support, ask includes smaller ask that'd solve most of the pain: raise build-time error when permission set contains unsupported permission types, instead of silent drop.

Upvotes appreciated if you've hit this too: 

https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00000GdxqTUAR/permission-sets-allow-standard-object-permissions-to-be-packaged

Curious if others in this group have workarounds beyond post-install Apex/Flow to re-grant these perms.

    @Sai T

     

    Currently I don't see any viable script for the post-install automation. 

    Apex deployment mechanism (MetadataOperations class) doesn't support Permission Set, only Layout and CustomMetadata are supported, so this is not an option. 

    Other options like leveraging Metadata API or Tooling API require session token. Previously we could use UserInfo.getSessionId() but now it is forbidded by AppExchange Security Review policies. Anyway, in post install context Session Id was blank. 

    I am considering to open view more ideas for this: 

    - to get a clear error when something is supposed to be packaged and included in the package but it is not; 

    - to get an option to deploy unpackaged PermissionSet so that integration flow could be established

Feet on strike? Brain loaded with 4,000 session slides? Coffee-to-water ratio severely out of balance? ☕️⚡️ 

 

Congratulations—you survived #Dreamforce

! Seeing your lightbulb moments and key takeaways flooding the feeds has been absolute gold. 

 

As chaotic and back-to-back as the week was, every single sore step was worth it. But now comes the real magic: keeping that momentum alive before the post-conference brain fog sets in.
