Salesforce Security: Getting Started is the first in a series that is dedicated to helping you prepare for the Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Designer exam. This course is designed to take you beyond just learning the necessary facts and give you real-world scenarios that should help prepare you on your journey towards certification.

The company at the center of this course is Globomantics, a fictional global robotics provider. They are also a new Salesforce Enterprise customer with over 20,000 employees located across the globe.

Globomantics is using Field Service Lightning to help their employees provide world-class customer service. They have hired a Solution architect to help them design a secure and scalable sharing architecture on Salesforce.

In this course, you will learn how to evaluate and configure object, field-level, role and security settings that provide access to the platform. When you’re finished, you will have the skills and knowledge to declaratively provide high-level data access to the relevant people in your Salesforce organization.

Record sharing, which is a very complex area will not be covered until the next course in this series. But that should be coming out in the next month. Stay tuned for that announcement.
