SalesforceYou can resolve “insufficient privileges” errors when syncingreports to Google Sheets by using an integration that provides clear error messaging and handles permission requirements transparently.
Here’s how to identify and fix permission issues that commonly block Salesforce data synchronization.
Clear permission handling with Coefficient integration
Coefficientprovides robust permission handling that addresses insufficient privileges errors through clear error messaging and automatic handling of Salesforce security settings, eliminating the guesswork in resolving access issues.
How to make it work
Step 1. Verify required Salesforce permissions.
Coefficient requires “API Enabled” permission in your Salesforce user profile, plus “Run Reports” and “Export Reports” permissions for report access. Object-level permissions must include “Read” access for all fields being imported. The connection test validates these permissions before attempting imports.
Step 2. Handle field-level security restrictions.
Coefficient automatically excludes inaccessible fields based on your field-level security settings, rather than failing the entire sync. The import preview shows exactly which fields will be included based on your user permissions, eliminating surprises during data import.
Step 3. Resolve report access and folder permissions.
Private reports require ownership or explicit sharing permissions – Coefficient can only access reports visible to your authenticated user. Check folder permissions to ensure report access, and use the preview functionality to confirm accessible data before running full imports.
Step 4. Address API access limitations.
Some Salesforce editions lack API access entirely. Coefficient clearly identifies API access requirements during connection setup and provides built-in handling of API limits to prevent quota-related privilege errors. Reauthorization capability handles permission changes seamlessly.
