Security

Security Review:
These changes or enhancements include:

• validating that the users carrying out certain functions have the relevant permissions/ read access for the fields required to carry out that function. Additionally, where this read permission is missing, the required processes should be stopped. For example, where a user is trying to carry out a VAT ID verification but they do not have access to the VAT Id Number field on the Accounts object

• users needing to confirm certain actions will take place

• updating software versions in our code and

• changing how certain information is accessed for specific features so that users don’t need View Setup permissions, in order to keep the needed access permissions for our features as few as possible
