Summary

This article documents the patch release for Backup & Archive (v4.6.9). This release introduces a set of new Custom Permissions for the Backup & Archive Salesforce package, giving administrators fine-grained control over which users can view and interact with key components. These permissions help organizations align Backup & Archive usage with internal compliance and data governance policies.

Custom Permissions for Backup & Archive Salesforce Package

This release adds a new set of Custom Permissions to the Backup & Archive Salesforce package. Administrators can now individually control visibility and execution rights for the following Backup & Archive components and actions:

• Search
• Time Machine
• Related Archives
• Unarchive
• Backup History

Each permission can be assigned through Permission Sets or Profiles, allowing you to tailor access to match specific user roles and responsibilities. The following Custom Permissions are now available:

• View Search List: Grants access to the Search component view (Search List). Enable this permission for users who need to review Search job results but do not need to start new ones.
• Execute Search: Allows users to run Search jobs against backed-up data. Enable this permission only for users who are authorized to initiate Search operations, as these jobs can be resource-intensive and expose sensitive data.
• View Time Machine: Grants access to the Time Machine component, allowing users to view historical versions of records and navigate point-in-time snapshots. Grant this permission only to users who require access to record history exploration, such as auditors or senior administrators.
• View Related Archives: Allows users to view archived records related to a specific Salesforce record within the Related Archives component. This controls whether related archived data is surfaced in the record context, helping limit exposure of historical data to authorized users only.
• View Backup History: Grants access to the Backup History component. Enable this permission for users who need visibility into previously backed-up data and backup job outcomes.

By default, these permissions are not granted to any user. Assign them through Permission Sets or Profiles as part of your Backup & Archive access model to ensure users only see and act on the data and features appropriate to their role.
