FAQ

Short answers to the questions admins ask most before installing.

Is it free?

Yes. SFDC Police is free to install and use. There are no seat licenses, no per-user fees, and no credit card required.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. SFDC Police runs entirely in your browser, against your existing Salesforce session. It reads and writes through the Salesforce APIs you already have access to, and it does not send your org's data to our servers — because there is no server in the loop. What happens in your org stays in your org.

Do I need admin approval or a connected app to install it?

No. It is a standard Chrome extension. It does not require a connected app, an OAuth client, or an administrator to pre-approve anything. Any user who can log in to Salesforce in their browser can use it — with exactly the access their own permissions allow, and no more.

How does it connect without API keys?

It reuses your authenticated Salesforce session — the same one your browser already holds after you log in. There are no API keys to manage and no credentials to store. When your Salesforce session ends, so does the extension's access.

Which orgs are supported?

Production orgs, sandboxes, scratch orgs, and developer orgs. If you can open it in Lightning in your browser, the extension can connect to it.

Does it work in Lightning and Classic?

It is built for Lightning Experience and Setup, which is where modern administration happens. It works across lightning.force.com and my.salesforce.com domains.

Will it change my org without asking?

No. Reads are free to run, but every write is explicit — you choose it, preview it, and confirm it. Many write operations (migrations, bulk edits, generated data) are reversible through before-state snapshots or a rollback ledger, so a mistake is recoverable rather than permanent.

Does it respect my permissions?

Completely. The extension can only do what your Salesforce user can do. It cannot escalate privileges or bypass sharing — it simply makes the access you already have faster to use and easier to understand.

Does it support managed packages?

Yes. It reads managed and namespaced metadata, so packaged objects, fields, and permissions show up alongside your custom configuration rather than being invisible.

How do I get started?

Install the extension, open any Salesforce page, and it connects automatically. See Installation for the details, then browse the feature guides.
