What is protected custom settings in Salesforce?
Protected—Custom settings in a managed package are visible through Apex and formulas within the same package and namespace. However, they are not visible to subscribing organizations through Apex and API. Custom settings contained in an unmanaged package behave like public custom settings and don’t provide protection.
What is the use of custom settings in Salesforce?
Custom settings are similar to custom objects in that they let you customize org data. Unlike custom objects, which have records based on them, custom settings let you utilize custom data sets across your org. Custom settings also let you distinguish particular users or profiles based on custom criteria.
How does OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant flow work?
These types of applications are often referred to as daemons or service accounts. The OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant flow permits a web service (confidential client) to use its own credentials, instead of impersonating a user, to authenticate when calling another web service.
How are permissions granted in the client credentials flow?
In the client credentials flow, permissions are granted directly to the application itself by an administrator. When the app presents a token to a resource, the resource enforces that the app itself has authorization to perform an action since there is no user involved in the authentication.
Where to store protected custom settings in apex?
A protected custom setting contained in a managed package is not visible to subscribing organizations through Apex or the API, making it a good place to store certain kinds of secrets.
