Salesforce Interview Questions for admin

1)What is Salesforce?What is CRM?

Salesforce is the company which provides cloud-based software. As Salesforce is in the cloud, one can use it from anywhere with active internet connection. Salesforce is "Software as a service" as well as "platform as a service".

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management is an application which is used to automate the process, using salesforce we can store all our important data on the cloud using standard and custom objects and can access it any time when we need.

Salesforce provides apps such as Sales, Marketing, Service as "software as service" whereas it provides a tool called "force.com" where you can customize your application using apex,visualforce.

2)What is Profile/Role hierarchy/Permission set in salesforce?


The profile is a collection of permission which determines which task user can perform.
Profile controls permission such as objects access, field access, tab access, record type visibility etc. By default, salesforce provides some standard profiles such as system administrator, read-only, marketing user, standard user etc. We cannot delete these profiles. We can delete custom profiles if no user is assigned to it.

Role hierarchy basically deals with the user access to organization data. The user in the top-level hierarchy has automatic access to data of the user who is below in hierarchy. If we don't want these we can uncheck the grant access using hierarchy checkbox for custom objects. We cannot unchecked it for standard objects.

If we want to give some additional permission to the user we can give it through permission sets.

3)Is it possible to delete user from Salesforce?

No, We can inactivate user.

4)What is validation rule in salesforce and how it differs from apex trigger?
