Owner profile name in account record

Hi,

I'm creating a trigger to get the profile name from account owner in the account record. This should be a fairly simple task, but I'm stuck with no results in the code. Do anyone have a quick code for this?

Hi Oyvind,

Please refer the below sample code:

trigger getAccountOwnerProfile on Account( before Insert,before update )
{
    
    Set<Id> ownerIDs = new Set<Id>();
    for( Account acc : trigger.new )
    {
        
        if( acc.OwnerId != null )
        {
            ownerIDs.add( acc.OwnerId );
        }
    
    }
    
    Map<Id, User> ownerMap = new Map<Id, User>([ Select Id, ProfileId, Profile.Name From User where Id IN: ownerIDs ]);
    
    for( Account a : trigger.new )
    {
            if( ownerMap.containsKey( a.OwnerId ) )
            {
                system.debug('Account Owner Profile Name ==> ' + ownerMap.get( a.OwnerId ).Profile.Name);
                a.Description = ownerMap.get( a.OwnerId ).Profile.Name;
            }
        
    
    }   
}

Can you please Let me know if it helps or not!!!

Hi Raj,

Thanks, this seems to have solved the issue. I have one more question for you. Why do you use before trigger instead of after trigger? Part of my failed apex was due to after trigger which I would say make more sense in this case.
Maharajan CMaharajan C
If you want to modify the Same record which is firing the trigger then it should handled in the before transaction . In the after transaction that record will become as read only.

If you are going to perform the dml in any related objects then use the after.

OK, got it. Thanks a lot.
