Does Lightening Data Service handle sharing rules and field-level security?

Yes, it will take care.

Hello ,

Yes, Lightning Data Service (LDS) automatically respects sharing rules and field-level security defined in your Salesforce organization. LDS acts as a data access layer that enforces the same security and access controls as if you were accessing the data through Apex or the Salesforce REST API.

Here's how Lightning Data Service handles sharing rules and field-level security:

Sharing Rules: LDS honors the sharing rules defined in your Salesforce organization. If a user does not have access to a record due to sharing rules, LDS will not retrieve or display that record. This ensures that the data displayed to users through LDS is consistent with their access permissions.

Field-Level Security: LDS respects field-level security settings defined for each user profile or permission set. If a user does not have read access to a specific field, LDS will not retrieve or display that field's value. Similarly, if a user does not have write access to a field, LDS will prevent the user from updating that field's value.

By leveraging the Lightning Data Service, developers can ensure that the data displayed in Lightning components is filtered and controlled based on the user's access rights, without needing to explicitly implement these security checks in their code.

Hope this helps !
Thank you.

Hello Saravana Ravikumar ,

Yes, Lightning Data Service (LDS) is designed to handle both sharing rules and field-level security in Salesforce. LDS is built on top of the platform's security architecture and automatically respects the sharing settings and rules defined in your organization.

When using LDS to perform CRUD operations on records, it ensures that users can only access the records they have the appropriate level of access to based on the defined sharing rules. This means that if a user does not have access to a particular record due to sharing rules, LDS will prevent them from viewing or modifying that record.

Additionally, LDS also enforces field-level security by respecting the field-level security settings defined for each user profile. This means that users can only access and modify fields they have the necessary permissions for, according to their profile settings. If a field is marked as read-only or hidden for a particular user, LDS will prevent any updates to that field by that user.

By leveraging LDS in your Lightning components, you can rely on its built-in mechanisms to handle sharing rules and field-level security, ensuring that your data remains secure and adheres to the defined access controls.

Please mark it as best answer, if it is helpful for you.
Thanks

Yes, Lightning Data Service does handle sharing rules and field-level security. Lightning Data Service is built on the Lightning Platform, which incorporates the security features provided by Salesforce. This means that when you use Lightning Data Service to interact with Salesforce data, it automatically respects the sharing rules and field-level security defined in your Salesforce org.
Sharing rules in Salesforce control access to records based on criteria you define. They determine which users or groups have access to specific records. When you use Lightning Data Service to retrieve or manipulate records, it honors the sharing rules and ensures that only authorized users can view or modify the appropriate data.
Field-level security, on the other hand, allows you to control access to specific fields on an object. You can specify which users or profiles can view, edit, or delete certain fields. Lightning Data Service respects these field-level security settings, preventing unauthorized users from accessing or modifying restricted fields when interacting with data. by https://examorientedgk.com/ (https://examorientedgk.com/" target="_blank)
