Salesforce Customisation in Edinburgh
Configuring Salesforce for how Edinburgh teams actually work, most of which is the access model. Visibility is computed from several layers at once — object permissions, field permissions, org-wide defaults, role hierarchy, sharing rules — and it is entirely possible to grant something at one layer that another silently withholds.
Why this comes up
The problem
Users cannot see records they need, someone widens a permission to fix it, and now everyone can see everything.
What you get
What we deliver
- Access designed as a model rather than adjusted per complaint
- Permission sets used for capability, with profiles kept minimal
- Org-wide defaults set restrictively and opened deliberately by sharing rules
- Record types and layouts reflecting genuinely different processes, not preferences
- Field-level security applied where data should not be visible to everyone
- Configuration favoured over code wherever the platform supports the requirement

Salesforce Customisation in Edinburgh — common questions
- Why is the sharing model so easily broken?
- Because fixes are applied at whichever layer is quickest. Someone widens an org-wide default to solve one user's problem, and the effect reaches every record of that type. Access needs to be designed once and changed against that design, not patched.
- Profiles or permission sets?
- Permission sets for what someone can do, profiles kept as a thin baseline. Cloning profiles for every variation produces dozens that nobody can compare, whereas permission sets are additive, inspectable and can be granted temporarily.
- When do we need record types?
- When the process genuinely differs — different stages, different required fields, different picklist values. Creating record types because two teams want different layouts is a maintenance cost that compounds with every future change.
- How much should we customise?
- Less than most organisations do. Every customisation is something to test through three releases a year and to explain to the next administrator, and a good proportion of what gets built exists because nobody challenged a requirement. The useful discipline is asking what breaks if a request is refused — often the honest answer is that a team would have to change a habit, which is a cheaper outcome than a permanent addition to the org.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
