USER PERMISSIONS
To edit custom permissions:
• “Customize Application”
My Domain
Using My Domain, you can define a custom Salesforce domain name. A custom domain name helps you better manage login and
authentication for your organization in several key ways.
• Highlight your business identity with your unique domain URL.
• Brand your login screen and customize right-frame content.
• Block or redirect page requests that don’t use the new domain name.
• Access increased support for single sign-on.
• Set custom login policy and determine how users are authenticated.
• Let users select an alternate identity provider from the login page.
For more information, see “My Domain Overview” in the Salesforce online help.
Identity Providers
An identity provider is a trusted provider that enables you to use single sign-on to access other websites. A service provider is a website
that hosts applications. You can enable Salesforce as an identity provider, then define one or more service providers, so your users can
access other applications directly from Salesforce using single sign-on. This can be a great help to your users: instead of having to
remember many passwords, they will only have to remember one. Plus, the applications can be added as tabs to your Salesforce
organization, which means users won’t have to switch between programs.
For more information, see “About Identity Providers and Service Providers” in the Salesforce online help.
Network-Based Security
User authentication determines who can log in, while network-based security limits where they can log in from and when. Use
network-based security to limit the window of opportunity for an attacker by restricting the origin of user logins. Network-based security
can also make it more difficult for an attacker to use stolen credentials.
