Relation between RecordType and Profile

Hi, guys!

I need to maintain subject somehow. But I didn't find any advices about how to do that in documentation. What I need to do is to check if specified user (profile) has permission to change recordtype of accounts from one value to another. Any advices and comments are appreciated .

This information will be available in 5.0 with the new DescribeLayout call. There is a RecordTypeMapping object that lists the available record types for a user.

Docs should be up later in the week.

Hi,

I'm trying to do the following (which I think is related to this thread)...

I want to update the Account Record Type field based upon a text value matching an existing Account Record Type picklist value.

I see now that I must update the Account SObject with a RecordTypeID (and simply cannot update the Record Type field with a new Text value).

My question is - how do I get the picklist ID values for the Account Record Type and how can I ensure I get the correct ID for the text value I'm trying to locate the ID for?

All advise is really appreciated.

Thanks,
- B

Query the RecordType object. select id from RecordType where tableEnumOrId='Account' and name='foo'
