Yes, you can run SOQL queries to check object permissions across multiple profiles, but native Salesforce reports can’t handle the complex joins and analysis you need. Custom SOQL queries give you the power to analyze permissions comprehensively.
Here’s how to use advanced SOQL capabilities to query metadata objects and create permission analysis that goes far beyond standard reporting limits.
Query multiple profile permissions with custom SOQL using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceSalesforcelets you run complex SOQL queries thatreports simply cannot handle. You can query ObjectPermissions metadata objects directly and join them with Profile data for comprehensive analysis across your entireorg.
How to make it work
Step 1. Write a multi-profile ObjectPermissions query.
SELECT Parent.Profile.Name, SobjectType, PermissionsCreate, PermissionsRead, PermissionsEdit, PermissionsDelete FROM ObjectPermissions Use Coefficient’s Custom SOQL feature to query:. This pulls all CRUD permissions for every profile and object combination.
Step 2. Add advanced filtering with AND/OR logic.
WHERE SobjectType IN (‘Account’, ‘Custom_Object__c’) WHERE PermissionsEdit = true AND PermissionsDelete = true Filter by specific objects usingor permission types like. You can combine multiple conditions that native reports can’t handle.
Step 3. Include custom objects in your permission audit.
Add custom objects to your analysis by filtering where SobjectType ends with ‘__c’. This gives you visibility into permissions on your most sensitive custom data that standard reports often miss.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh for ongoing monitoring.
Schedule your permission queries to refresh daily or weekly. Unlike one-time Workbench queries, this creates ongoing permission monitoring that alerts you to changes across all your profiles automatically.
Step 5. Export results for cross-reference analysis.
Use the imported permission data to create pivot tables and comparison matrices. Apply conditional formatting to highlight permission anomalies or create summary reports for security teams.
